Moldova's pro-European President Maia Sandu has nominated businessman Vasile Tofan as the country's next prime minister, replacing Alexandru Munteanu who resigned earlier this month. Tofan's main responsibilities will be to advance Moldova's integration into the European Union, strengthen state institutions, and revive the economy. He now has two weeks to secure parliamentary backing for his candidacy, which is supported by Igor Grosu and the ruling Action and Solidarity Party (PAS).
