Dniester & Prut Water Crisis: Moldova’s Environment Minister Gheorghe Hajder says the Dniester is at historic lows, with the water intake station supplying Chisinau flagged as one of the most vulnerable points; authorities are monitoring supply and pushing for practical fixes, not political blame. Energy Emergency: Parliament approved a 60-day state of emergency in the energy and hydrological sectors starting Sept. 26, as drought and higher costs strain utilities ahead of winter; the National Crisis Management Commission set priorities for electricity, fuel logistics, and tighter export rules during peak hours. Prut Reservoir Releases: Hajder also reported reduced discharge from the Costești–Stânca reservoir to protect reserves, warning that only a small margin remains before releases can’t continue through the system. EU Integration Roadmaps: The European Commission is considering accession roadmaps for Moldova and other candidates, aiming to turn the process into clearer, staged steps with target dates. Transport Links to EU: Moldova asked the EU for support for the Ungheni–Chisinau railway and the Iasi–Ungheni–Chisinau highway, plus continued talks on road freight liberalization. Business & Investment Push: Moldova Business Week 2026 opened in Chisinau, with EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos stressing reforms that make Moldova a more predictable investment destination.
