An efficiently functioning border that facilitates free movement of people and goods is a strategic priority for the Republic of Moldova. This was the central focus of the latest meeting of the National Council for Integrated State Border Management, chaired by Minister of Internal Affairs Daniella Misail-Nichitin.
The meeting served as a platform for open dialogue, where participants reviewed the progress made in border management, assessed current risks and set clear directions for action in the coming years. The aim is to improve border crossing conditions, enhance security and bring public services closer to citizens.
Discussions brought together national authorities and European partners, including representatives from Romania, Frontex and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development, who addressed key areas such as the modernization of border crossing infrastructure, the development of strategic transport corridors and enhanced inter-agency border security cooperation in line with European standards.
Minister Misail-Nichitin highlighted the importance of transforming Moldova’s border into zones of sustainable development that meet both national security and citizens’ daily needs:
“Only through genuine and coordinated cooperation can we ensure that the border is not just a line of demarcation, but a space of security and sustainable development.”
A key moment of the meeting was the launch of work on the National Program for Integrated State Border Management for 2026-2030. Discussions focused on strengthening institutional capacities and updating the regulatory framework to ensure a coherent approach that responds to today’s security challenges.
The National Council for Integrated State Border Management plays a key role in coordinating the inter-institutional efforts to ensure an effective, secure and modern border. It promotes shared policies aligned with European standards.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs remains committed to building a border system that is modern, citizen-centred and grounded in institutional accountability and cooperation.
