“I believe that it is a very important moment for Moldova and for a whole European anticorruption community to hold the EPAC/EACN annual conference in Chisinau and bring best European experts on anticorruption to discuss challenges and share best practices” said Žydrūnas BARTKUS, EPAC/EACN President and Director of the Special Investigation Service (STT) of the Republic of Lithuania. “Combating corruption is one of the top priorities for Moldova on its road to the European Union and EPAC/EACN, as a professional network of European anticorruption and police oversight institutions, can offer best and ready to use expertise in this area. It is also our common goal to contribute to creation of anticorruption and integrity environment on our continent. ”
