At the same time, Doctor of Economics Veaceslav Ionita commented that the Agreement with the EU does not only mean export, it also means transforming Moldova into an investment country.

"Country number one became Romania, and Russia remained below. In the middle of 2018 Moldova's exports to the EU and the CIS were equal, with us being a crisis, and the EU has managed to absorb our commodity.

"Agreement with the EU does not only mean export, it also means transforming Moldova into an investment country.
