EU4Borders Security – Moldova marks first year of implementation

2 July 2026

The Second Steering Committee Meeting of the EU-funded project "EU4Borders Security – Moldova" was held today in Chișinău, bringing together representatives of project partners, beneficiaries, and relevant stakeholders.

The meeting marked the completion of the first year of implementation and provided a platform to review key results achieved in strengthening Moldova's border management capacities in alignment with European Union and Schengen acquis standards.

Over the past year, the project has deployed expert missions across all three components, delivering specialised training, developing methodologies and regulatory recommendations. The project successfully carried out 27 expert missions involving 25 international experts, who delivered a total of 209 expert days. Four specialised training sessions were organised, strengthening the capacities of 81 border police officers. The project visibility was supported through 30 published articles, 11 visibility products, and two project videos highlighting key activities and achievements.

The Steering Committee also served as an opportunity to discuss strategic priorities for the upcoming implementation period, including planned expert missions, and the continued development of tools and frameworks to support beneficiaries’ alignment with European Union and Schengen acquis requirements.

The meeting reaffirmed the strong commitment of all partners and beneficiaries to the successful implementation of the project activities in line with its objectives and the Republic of Moldova's broader EU integration agenda.
