Description |
Moldova is located between the European Union (EU) and the Post-Soviet Community of Independent
States (CIS) migration systems. In the CIS (attracting 63% of all Moldovan migrants), the most popular
migration destination is Russia (60.8%). In the EU that gathers approximately 30% of all Moldovan
migrants, the “dream migration country” is Italy (19.6%). In the last decades, the importance of the
European migration system has grown. If previously, the dominant migration tendency of the
Moldovan population was the CIS – mainly Russia – then these days “traditional” labour migration to
the East is giving way to Western and South-Western labour migration vectors.
