As the war in Ukraine continues, the European Union is pivoting eastward—toward Moldova. With Hungary blocking Ukraine’s EU membership bid over minority rights concerns, Brussels is considering decoupling the accession process, fast-tracking Moldova instead. EU Enlargement Minister Marta Kos praised Moldova’s democratic reforms and hinted at potential membership by 2029. Simultaneously, the EU unveiled a €60 million aid package to boost Moldova’s defense, signaling growing regional security concerns. Meanwhile, Hungarian public opinion appears at odds with its government’s stance, as Moldova gears up for crucial elections. Is the EU redrawing its priorities in Eastern Europe?
