Abstract

The article analyses how Romania promotes its national preferences in the EU enlargement process, with a particular focus on supporting the Republic of Moldova in becoming an EU member. The characteristics and dynamics of the current wave of EU enlargement are examined and several challenges that may delay the accession of some of the candidate countries are discussed. Additionally, the opportunities and challenges related to Romania’s contribution in helping the Republic of Moldova prepare for the pre-accession stage and subsequently for EU membership are explored.
