„E ca și cum te-ai întoarce în Vestul Sălbatic”. Moldova își cheamă înapoi cetățenii plecați

Moldova faces significant depopulation, with one in four citizens living abroad. The government is urging citizens to return amid a challenging geopolitical landscape influenced by the war in Ukraine. The country is also striving for EU integration, having opened accession talks in December 2023. Despite its efforts, Moldova struggles with a declining population, lack of essential services, and a brain drain, as many skilled professionals have emigrated for better opportunities. The situation is exacerbated by economic hardships and a history of corruption, leading to a loss of trust in local institutions.
