As the Republic of Moldova prepares for accession to the European Union, last week the Dean of VU Law Faculty, Assoc. Prof. Dr Haroldas Šinkūnas, and the Vice-Dean for Science, Prof. Dr Jurgita Paužaitė-Kulvinskienė, visited the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Moldova to discuss cooperation with the Minister of Justice, Veronica Mihailov-Moraru, and the State Secretary of the Ministry, Eduard Serbenco.
The Dean, Assoc. Prof. Dr H. Šinkūnas, shared practical insights on the incorporation of EU legislation into national legislation and discussed the possibilities of academic cooperation between students and teachers from both countries.
For the Republic of Moldova, which aspires to become a member of the EU by 2030, it is crucial to make efforts in the area of justice reform and the fight against corruption. The meeting also focused on the protection of human rights, the organisation of training for professionals in this field, etc. Both sides agreed to continue their cooperation and communication.
