Moldova is preparing for the second round of its presidential election on Sunday, a pivotal event that presents voters with a choice between aligning more closely with Europe or reverting to Russian influence.
After the recent elections in Georgia, won by the pro-Russian party “Georgian Dream”, the controversy and tensions within the country show no signs of abating.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze reiterated that the country’s integration into the European Union remains “the priority” for Tbilisi, despite strong criticism from the opposition, which accuses the government of adopting an authoritarian attitude and being too close to Russia.
