Maia Sandu, congratulated by European leaders after the "historic victory" in the elections

Maia Sandu was congratulated by international leaders after she won a new mandate as head of state following the November 3 elections. European officials, including leaders from neighboring countries, welcomed the pro-European orientation of the Republic of Moldova and assured Maia Sandu of their full support.

"Ukraine supports the European choice of the Moldovan people and is ready to work together to strengthen our partnership. Moldovans have made a clear choice - they have chosen a path to economic growth and social stability," wrote the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky on social networks.

The President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, congratulated Maia Sandu for the "historic victory" and emphasized that Romania remains "the most involved supporter of the development of the Republic of Moldova".

"The Romanian people are with the citizens of the Republic of Moldova in this success, which irreversibly anchors the country's destiny in the European family. With the new mandate entrusted to you, you have a unique chance to continue and consolidate the reforms and progress of the past 4 years to ensure stability, prosperity and peace".

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz praised the pro-European direction adopted by Maia Sandu and congratulated her for her ability to lead the Republic of Moldova "through difficult times".

"We are with the Republic of Moldova. Congratulations on your re-election as president!”.

President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, sent a congratulatory message to Maia Sandu. The European official recognized the efforts and courage of the current president, re-elected for a new term, in "the fight for democracy, the rule of law and a European future".

"Europe will keep standing with the Republic of Moldova on this journey".

"Your victory is our victory" - wrote the president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, on social networks.

Maia Sandu won the second round of the presidential elections on Sunday, according to preliminary data. The PAS candidate enters history and thus becomes the first politician in the country to whom the citizens entrust, by direct vote, two consecutive mandates as president.
