Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the role and impact of civil society engagement in the Republic of Moldova’s future accession negotiations to the European Union. Focusing on the intricate dynamics between governmental bodies and civil society actors, we investigate the implications of this engagement on the negotiation process and the subsequent integration into European frameworks. By analysing case studies and empirical data, we aim to shed light on the challenges, successes, and transformative potential of civil society participation in shaping the accession trajectory. Additionally, we discuss the broader implications of such engagement for democratization, governance, and societal development within the context of Republic of Moldova. The paper uses qualitative research strategy, with content analysis and study case, as research methods. It concludes with a reflection on the prospects and recommendations for fostering a more inclusive and effective collaboration between the government and civil society during accession negotiations. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of civil society in international relations and offers insights into the specific context of Moldova’s accession journey.
