Summary/Abstract: On June 25, two years and two days after the granting of candidate country status, the Republic of Moldova participated in the first intergovernmental conference at the ministerial level for the opening of accession negotiations to the European Union. This autumn, on October 20, a constitutional referendum will be held in this regard in the Republic of Moldova. "Do you support amending the Constitution with a view to the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union?". We decided to go with this question in UTA Gagauzia. There I found citizens who admitted that they will boycott the referendum and based on myths, evoke the fears of the Republic of Moldova joining the EU. Their fear is "the loss of territory, sovereignty, religion, the legalization of same-sex marriages and even the outbreak of an armed war." Experts blame disinformation and Russian influence in the region. We collected from citizens' "fears", analyzed and dismantled them, one by one, with the help of experts.
