Outcomes

Moldova' security

Шаблон:Main On 24 April 2023, European Union member states agreed to deploy a Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) civilian mission to Moldova to help the country deal with hybrid threats it faces as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The mission was formally launched during the summit.[44][45]

Moldovan president Maia Sandu has stated that the hosting of the summit in the country will help ensure security by sending a clear message that "Moldova has numerous and powerful friends, who support us in our desire to maintain peace and stability" and that "in these difficult times, when Russia continues to wage an inhumane war against Ukraine, the diplomatic support provided by this event is invaluable.[40]

The summit coincided with an €87m contribution to non-military logistical aid from the European Peace Facility.[46][47] The equipment provided includes drones, laptops, explosive ordnance disposal equipment, ultrasound machines, personal protection and surgical kits.[48]

Ukraine's security

Шаблон:Main Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended the summit in person, having spoken at the previous summit via video link. He used his address at the main plenary session to ask for more aid and weapons adding that his country was prepared to join the European Union and NATO as quickly as possible. He also asked for interim security guarantees for both Ukraine and Moldova, proposals that were supported by France and Germany. Lithuanian president Gitanas Nauseda, who will host the next NATO summit in July 2023, urged the alliance to adopt a clear road map for Ukraine's accession.[49][50]

Kosovo–Moldova relations

Host nation Moldova has not recognized the independence of Kosovo and usually refused admission to holders of Kosovar passports which could have led to issues with delegates from Kosovo attending the summit. However, in the lead up to the summit, legislation was progressed in the Moldovan parliament to acknowledge that Kosovar passports are valid travel documents allowing holders to apply for electronic visas to enter Moldova.[51]

Armenia–Azerbaijan relations

Шаблон:Main A meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azeri President Ilham Aliyev with Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz, Charles Michel was held at the summit, building on progress made at negotiations held in Prague in October 2022, in five meetings in Brussels, and at a May 2023 meeting in Washington.[52][53][54] A similar meeting at the previous summit in October 2022, led to the deployment of a European Union mission to help monitor the border between the two countries. The leaders of both countries met in Moscow on 25 May 2023 and it was reported by Reuters that further progress towards a peace agreement could be made at the summit.[55][56] At the summit, discussions focused on the unblocking of regional transport, economic infrastructure, border delimitation and security, the rights and security of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh, and prisoners of war and missing persons. Both agreed to meet again on 21 July in Brussels.[57][58]

Kosovo–Serbia relations

Шаблон:Main The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has announced that on Thursday, June 1, he will hold separate meetings with the Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, and the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, and President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.[59] Macron and Scholz were also able to organize a face to face meeting between Vučić and Osmani on the fringes of the summit.[60] These meetings are being convened in response to the 2022–2023 North Kosovo crisis. The crisis reached its peak on Monday 29 May when KFOR peacekeeping troops were attacked by a group of violent protesters, whom the Kosovo government claims to be "Serbian criminal gangs".[59][61] Following the summit, Macron and Scholz suggested that new elections could be held in four ethnic Serb majority municipalities in northern Kosovo as a way resolve the crisis. In her post-summit press briefing, Osmani stated that the law on municipal self-governance in Kosovo allows for a recall election to be held in a municipality if 20% of the registered electors in that municipality sign a petition requesting one and that a solution to the crisis was close. Vučić stated that ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo wanted to see the withdrawal of special Kosovo Police units from the area and did not want to be ruled by "illegal mayors". Macron said they had asked both sides to come back next week with "clear answers".[62]

Migration to the United Kingdom

During the summit, British prime minister Rishi Sunak stated that he would ensure "tackling migration is firmly on the international agenda",[63] added that he would "take the lead" on the issue and vowed to "stop the boats".[64][65][66] Some media outlets in the UK reported that Sunak was meeting with "EU leaders" at an "asylum summit"[67] and GB News referred to the summit as the "Moldova migrant meeting".[68] UK Media also stated that that migration was "top of the agenda"[69][70] when in fact, immigration and asylum were not on the published agenda at all.[71][72]
