I also assessed in the discussion with the President of Poland, the same as in discussions with the presidents of the Polish Parliament chambers, that the positions of Romania and Poland are converging, that we plead with the same force for a major signal at Vilnius on our part, of the EU, in favor of bringing these two countries closer to the EU, and all the reasons, the elements that build such a vision ', Antonescu said at the end of the meeting with the President of Poland.
The move by Poland and Romania to encourage closer ties between Chisinau and Kiev and the EU, the President of the Senate stressed, 'is nothing else but a development, an update with a new energy of the spirit that led to the establishment of the EU and then to its enlargement'.
