The Council has decided to prolong the restrictive measures against those responsible for actions aimed at destabilising, undermining or threatening the sovereignty and independence of the Republic of Moldova, until 29 April 2025.

EU restrictive measures currently apply to a total of 11 individuals and one entity.

Those listed under the EU sanctions regime are subject to an asset freeze. It is also prohibited to generate funds or access economic resources made available to them, either directly or indirectly. Additionally, a travel ban applies to the natural persons listed, preventing them from entering and transiting through EU territories.

In its conclusions of 21-22 March 2024, the European Council reaffirmed its commitment to provide all relevant support to the Republic of Moldova in addressing the challenges it faces as a consequence of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and to strengthen the country’s resilience, security and stability in the face of destabilising activities by Russia and its proxies.

Background

EU restrictive measures were first introduced in April 2023 at the request of the Republic of Moldova in order to target persons responsible for supporting or implementing actions which undermine or threaten its sovereignty and independence, as well as the country’s democracy, the rule of law, stability or security.

On 14 December 2023 the European Council agreed to open accession negotiations with the Republic of Moldova, having granted the status of candidate country on 23 June 2022.
