Dual-Use Exports Crackdown: Moldova’s prosecutors say SIS and PCCOCS stopped a scheme to export about 21 million lei of dual-use control and measurement equipment to Russia-linked military firms, allegedly misdeclaring goods as “waste recycling devices” and hiding the end buyer. EU Pre-Accession Benefits: Brussels is reportedly drafting a “gradual integration” model that would give candidate countries, including Moldova, economic advantages (funding access, trade perks, partial single-market access) tied to reform progress—without granting political rights early. EU Accession Timetable Shift: Hungary’s renewed resistance is pushing the EU to open only two more negotiation clusters for Moldova and Ukraine before summer, instead of five. Public Pay Reform: President Maia Sandu says a unified public sector pay law would fix salary imbalances across the state, including top officials, with support from the World Bank. MoldATSA Fallout: Sandu calls the MoldATSA scandal “very serious,” citing control failures and saying inspections should extend to other state enterprises. Energy & Infrastructure: The Energy Ministry published MOUs for new gas-fired generation (about 100 MW) and is moving toward major grid upgrades, with testing of the Vulcănești–Chișinău 400 kV line due end of June. Trade & Logistics: Moldova’s PM in Gdańsk stressed the country’s role as a logistics hub for Ukraine’s recovery, while meetings with EBRD and regional partners focused on transport, energy security, and private-sector investment.
