Chisinau, 28 February /MOLDPRES/ - The United States urges Moldova’s leaders to move quickly to form a new government that respects the will of Moldovan voters and serves the Moldovan people by fighting corruption, promoting judiciary reforms, and securing Moldova’s progress on its democratic trajectory. The position was expressed in a press release issued in the context of the parliamentary polls held in Moldova.
In the communiqué, the United States congratulates the people of Moldova, the Central Electoral Commission, and the winners in the February 24 parliamentary elections. At the same time, the USA welcomed the assessment by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s (OSCE) Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights that Moldova’s parliamentary elections were competitive and generally respected fundamental rights.
„We share OSCE concerns, however, including allegations of bribing voters and misuse of administration resources, and we call on Moldovan authorities to investigate these claims,” the press release also reads.
On 24 February 2019, Moldova’s citizens with right to vote elected their MPs.
