“This statement is astonishing for me. A political leader declares that she is ready to vote for the loss of her country’s independence,” - with this remark, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze commented on the statement by Moldovan President Maia Sandu, in which she said that in the event of a referendum, she would vote in favor of unification with Romania.

Kobakhidze noted that such a position is incomprehensible and concerning to him.

“This statement is astonishing for me. A political leader declares that she is ready to vote for the loss of her country’s independence. When a political leader makes such a statement, I don’t even know what comment to make. This is a very regrettable development for Moldova, a country that gained independence together with us in the early 1990s.

The rest is Moldova’s matter; they will probably sort out their own issues themselves,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.
