Details
According to a source in the Moldovan government, the country has appealed to several EU states to warn them of possible attempts by a terrorist state to interfere with the voting process at foreign polling stations during the presidential election.
The second round of the presidential election in Moldova will take place on Sunday. It will be contested by pro-European incumbent President Maia Sandu and pro-russian candidate Alexandru Stoianoglo. The government fears that attempts to interfere could affect both the voting process itself and unfounded threats aimed at destabilizing the electoral environment.
Recall
During the first round of elections held on October 20, Moldova held a referendum on the country's European integration. Citizens were asked to decide whether to enshrine the country's course toward membership in the European Union in the country's constitution. The majority of citizens voted in favor of joining the EU, confirming their support for the European vector of the country's development.
