Olga Cebotari, Member of Parliament from the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova and former Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, has been appointed Vice President of the Parliamentary Committee for European Integration, TRIBUNA reports.

The politician stated that, in her role as Vice President of the Committee, she will act in the interest of the citizens.

“I believe it is essential for the parliamentary opposition to be represented in this committee. The Republic of Moldova faces a difficult road ahead, especially with the opening of accession negotiations with the European Union. It is important that we are able to negotiate the best possible conditions for our country, if we reach that stage, and we must not forget that European integration means reforms—and the citizens of the Republic of Moldova expect their lives to improve”, said Olga Cebotari.

It is worth noting that Olga Cebotari holds a PhD in international relations and has completed nine years of higher education in foreign policy and diplomacy. In addition to her role as Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, she also served as the Moldovan Government’s representative to the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
