Igor Dodon, leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM), stated that on July 13, 1995, the Republic of Moldova became a member of the Council of Europe, joining one of the most important European organizations dedicated to promoting democracy, the rule of law, and human rights. According to Dodon, over the past 31 years, Moldova has actively participated in the Council of Europe’s structures, including the Parliamentary Assembly, the Committee of Ministers, the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, the European Court of Human Rights, and other key institutions, TRIBUNA reports.
