Alexandru Musteata highlighted the upcoming elections in Moldova and the increasing activities of Russia in the region. He noted that the Security and Information Service (SIS) is monitoring these developments, particularly in Gagauzia, ahead of local elections. Musteata emphasized that Moldova's progress in security does not eliminate threats, and ongoing cooperation with European partners is essential. He mentioned that reforms initiated in 2022 have strengthened ties with European intelligence services. Moldova is now actively contributing to regional security efforts and participating in joint operations with the EU's INTCEN.
