“Supporting institutionalized and sustainable dialogue on Gagauzia Autonomy” or “Gagauzia Dialogue” is a project that aims to contribute to the establishment of a constructive and sustainable dialogue between Chisinau and Comrat by strengthening institutions and capacities within the Parliamentary Working Group on Gagauzia. To support this process, the project brings together legislators, experts and stakeholders from Chisinau, Comrat and the rest of the country to find common solutions to common issues related to ATU Gagauzia. The project is implemented by CMI – Martti Ahtisaari Foundation with the support of Sweden.
Gagauzia Dialogue works to create a positive political environment for dialogue between Chisinau and Comrat, and to enhance the capacities of all parties to address institutional disputes and legislative contradictions between the centre and the autonomy.
In 2019, the project expanded the scope of the dialogue to include civil society and academia, to ensure that all perspectives contribute to the agenda, substance and objectives of the parliamentary dialogue and policy development activities.
