German Chancellor Scholz travels to Moldova

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 21 - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will arrive in Chisinau today, having been invited by Moldovan President Maia Sandu. The official visit is viewed in Moldova as "a demonstration of solidarity from the most powerful EU member state towards the Republic of Moldova," reports Radio Moldova.
    Germany, which had previously been hesitant to expand the EU to include countries such as Moldova and Ukraine, has reconsidered its position in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to local media in Chisinau. Berlin could also have a potential role in addressing the Transnistrian issue and investing in the modernization of the National Army. (ANSA).
