According to a Moldovan government source, Russia may try to disrupt the voting at the polling stations, for example with baseless bomb threats.
Moldova has informed several EU countries that Russia is trying to interfere with voting at foreign polling stations in Sunday’s presidential election, a Moldovan government source told the news agency Reuters.
According to the source, Russia may try to disrupt the voting at polling stations in Italy, Germany, France and the United States, for example, with endless bomb threats.
In the second round of Sunday’s presidential election, the sitting, pro-EU president will face each other Maia Sandu and is his pro-Russia main opponent Alexander Stoianoglo.
On October 20, in addition to the first round of the presidential election, Moldova voted on the country’s EU integration. In the referendum, Moldovans were asked whether the constitution should be changed so that joining the EU would be written into the law as a national goal. The majority of respondents voted for EU membership.
