On 19 May 2017 the Moldovan Young Lawyers Association became a member of the European Young Bar Association . The membership in the European Association of young lawyers is an important milestone reached by the Moldovan Young Bar. In the words of its president, Mr Vadim Vieru, the membership in this Organisation “brings to young Moldovan lawyers the benefits of an united voice for the defence and protection of the profession of lawyer for over 200,000 members, important networking and advocacy opportunities for the benefit of human rights”.
The accession of the Moldovan Young Lawyers Association was supported by the component on the "Support to the Moldovan Bar Association" of the "Strengthening the efficiency of justice and support to lawyers' profession in the Republic of Moldova" through bilateral meetings in London and Chisinau in 2016.
The component on the "Support to the Moldovan Bar Association" of the "Strengthening the efficiency of justice and support to lawyers' profession in the Republic of Moldova" project is funded by the Programmatic Cooperation Framework for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus. The Council of Europe and European Union are working in partnership with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus to help them meet Council of Europe benchmarks in human rights, democracy and the rule of law and improve the lives of citizens.
