Moldova: l’ultima possibilità per la Russia di far deragliare il viaggio verso l’Europa?

Russia is attempting to block further Moldovan integration with the EU. Ben Dubow discusses the critical Moldovan presidential and parliamentary elections in October, happening alongside a referendum on EU membership. After setbacks supporting traditional Moldovan pro-Russian parties, Russia is now backing controversial businessman Ilan Shor and his new electoral bloc, the Victory Coalition. The elections will likely be Russia’s last real chance to steer Moldova away from Europe, and maintaining its influence remains a top Kremlin priority.
