Leaving the Russian market was a strategic and tactical mistake for Moldova. It writes that this statement was made by the former prime minister of the republic and presidential candidate in the upcoming elections Vasily Tarlev. RIA Novosti.
He noted that the market in the Russian Federation is the largest in terms of the supply of Moldovan goods. But now it is almost impossible to find wine from Moldova on the shelves of Russian stores, while drinks from other Western countries are abundantly available.
We are talking specifically about German and French wines. As the politician said, Paris and Berlin are also involved in the conflict with Moscow, but it was Chisinau that had to cut off economic relations with Moscow.
“They tricked us into leaving the market and took over the place. This is sabotage. Our politicians also accepted this sabotage. Of course, it will be difficult, but we will work to return to the Russian market,” Tarlev added.
The former head of government of the republic emphasized that the European Union (EU) does not know Moldovan goods. Moreover, the market of the regional community is saturated with goods from other countries.
“We should not abandon our historical markets. The current European market receives incomparably smaller volumes than the hundreds, thousands of deciliters of wine and millions of bottles that we sell to the CIS market,” explained the presidential candidate.
In this context, he said that Chisinau’s decision to cut economic relations with Moscow was a mistake.
