Defiance of International Law: Moldova Protests Russian Voting Centers

Prime Minister Dorin Recean commented on the Republic of Moldova's decision to protest against the Russian Federation's opening of polling stations in the Transnistrian region.

He emphasised that the state will not tolerate violations in territories controlled by constitutional authorities.

"Everyone must respect the Republic of Moldova, and by doing so, its citizens," stated Prime Minister Dorin Recean.

It is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) characterised the Russian Federation's decision as defying international law norms and principles and undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova.

The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Chisinau, Oleg Vasnetsov, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday, March 12th, where he was informed of the authorities' disapproval of the opening of Russian Federation polling stations in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova.

INTERVIEW // Cristina Gherasimov: We expect 2025 to be challenging. We must be united to anchor the Republic of Moldova in the space of peace

The Republic of Moldova advanced during 2024 on the path to accession to the European Union, despite the major challenges caused by the war launched by the Russian Federation in Ukraine and the hybrid pressures against our country. The challenges could continue in 2025, and they derive from the fact that the Russian Federation does not respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, Cristina Gherasimov said in an interview for Moldova1 TV. The Republic of Moldova is working to know how to react in such a way as to diminish the dangers that threaten the European path, and 2030 is a real deadline for completing preparations for accession to the EU.
