Deputy State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Gergely Prőhle reiterated Hungary’s support for Moldova’s European integration during his talks in Chisinau on 18 June 2013.

The Deputy State Secretary declared that an association agreement between Moldova and the EU could be signed after the EU Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius in November. He had meetings with Moldovan Deputy Foreign Minister Julian Groza and Culture Minister Monica Babuc as well as parliamentary officials and deputies.

Gergely Prőhle stressed that most of his negotiating partners held the view that launching a monitoring procedure against Hungary by the Council of Europe would be „out of proportion”. They also suggested that such a move would negatively impact the reputation of the Council of Europe, he added.
