The widespread corruption has a negative impact on the internal development of the Republic of Moldova and the EU integration process. How are the EU and the Council of Europe engaged in the fight against corruption in Moldova and where are their limits of action? Who are other relevant actors? To learn more about the issue, we interviewed Eliana Coraci and Mihai Corman, two of our Eurasia Lab Fellows, who share their research on existing anti-corruption efforts. They emphasise that the EU’s potential to influence different policy areas are quite different.
Eliana Coraci is a research fellow at the German-Moldovan Forum in Chișinău and project manager for #WeWatch, a project that aims to tackle disinformation by promoting young people’s information strategies and providing a participatory approach towards a capacity building.
Mihai-Razvan Corman is a research assistant and project leader at the German-Moldovan Forum in Chișinău and is working on the project “Developing the Rule of Law and Strengthening Anti-Corruption Measures in Public Procurement in the Republic of Moldova.”
