Moldova and Romania will begin joint border control at the main checkpoint between the two nations in April 2023, according to Moldova's interior minister on Wednesday. The new manner of operation at the busiest border crossing point will minimise wait times. Normally, such negotiations take years, but the Moldovan government immediately accepted a deal with Romania.
More than 430 business associations launched the LIBERTY Campaign (Legal Immigration and Border Enforcement Reform This Year) in 2023, with a letter to members of Congress urging them to address the border issue and the workforce shortage crisis before the end of the year. The majority of American voters, both Republican and Democrat, support policies that increase border security and make it easier to cross them. The majority of people (73%) are in favour of loosening immigration regulations and 74% support adding more border guards to the southern border.
Under the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), the European Union intends establishing the EU Mission in Armenia (EUMA) in 2023. On January 23, 2023, a Council Decision formally formed the EUMA. Its deployment on the Armenian side of the border with Azerbaijan is intended to support stability in Armenia's border regions, bolster trust and human security in areas impacted by conflict, and create an atmosphere that will facilitate EU-backed efforts to normalise relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
