Moldova plans to introduce visas for Russian and Belarusian citizens, aligning its visa policy with EU regulations. The exact date for implementation is yet to be determined. Prime Minister Vasile Țofan emphasized the need for decisions that support Moldova's European integration. Currently, Moldova allows visa-free entry for citizens from several countries, including Russia and Belarus, but aims to change this. The move is expected to further strain relations with Russia, which are already tense due to Moldova's increasing ties with the EU and ongoing regional conflicts.
