CHISINAU, Nov. 20 - Ukraine and Moldova have to resolve a lot of common issues in their way toward joining Europe, said Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

"Following the elections to the Rada, we have received a unique opportunity to implement the association agreement with the EU. Ukraine is consolidating now, and a ruling coalition is being formed to continue the reforms that have been started. I am sure that the elections in Moldova, which should determine a lot, will also pass successfully, and the European way will also be continued," Poroshenko said at a joint press conference with the Moldovan and Polish presidents in Chisinau on Thursday.
