The head of the legislature, Igor Grosu, discussed with the Director of the Swiss Cooperation Office, Guido Beltrani, the recently launched “Strengthening Parliamentary Democracy in Moldova (PADEM)” Project.

The PADEM Project, implemented by a consortium led by DAI Global with Mr. Ilmārs Solims, CEO of European Projects Management Ltd.

These components focus on the legislative process, parliamentary control, and representation and communication. The actions to be implemented aim to make parliamentary activity more efficient, intensify cooperation with civil society, as well as facilitate the transposition of European legislation into the national space.

The Speaker of the Parliament, Igor Grosu, expressed gratitude for the support. “We need to improve the processes within the institution, to adjust the quality to the speed with which we move, especially now, when we are in the process of negotiations with the European Union,” added the head of the legislature.

The “Strengthening Parliamentary Democracy in Moldova” project will be implemented until March 31, 2029, with potential for extension. It also includes collaboration with external partners – the Swiss Parliamentary Service, the Parliamentary Institute of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, the National Assembly of Hungary, the Parliament of Croatia, and the Parliament of Lithuania.
