The Centrist Union of Moldova (CUM) was set up on the 15 May 2000. Its main objective is to "build the civil society and the rule-of-law state, whose policy would be oriented towards creating the pre-conditions for a life in dignity in Moldova". The party was initially chaired by Ion Morei. After his resignation due to his appointment as Justice Minister in the Tarlev Government, chair of the CUM was elected Vasile Bajureanu. The ordinary Congress of CUM of 11 June 2002 decided to replace Vasile Bajureanu with Mihai Petrache as Chairperson of the CUM.

The CUM participated in the early parliamentary elections of 2001 and in 2003 local elections.
