Foreign Minister Iurie Leanca denied information that appeared in some publications in Chisinau that the Moldovan authorities would be understood by the authorities in countries where Moldova is illegal to provide them after the referendum vote, information on those who participated in the vote and have no legal papers in countries where they are. According to Moldovan publications in exchange for this information, the European Union should liberalize visa regime with the Moldovans. Iurie Leanca characterized this information as "primitive and absurd aberration. Top diplomat said that the Moldovan government in Chisinau will do everything you can for moldivenii abroad are to participate in the vote to the referendum and that Moldovans can identify with any valid document issued by Moldovan authorities.
After successful restoration of influence in Ukraine, Chisinau could become the next target of Russia's geopolitical, says agency Stratfor analysis. Lever Russia: proocidentale divisions within the coalition in power.
According to Stratfor sources in Moscow, Moldova could be the next ex-Soviet republic where Russia will focus on the pro scene elements, the joint statement in May after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his Ukrainian counterpart, Viktor Yanukovych, who pledged to work to resolve the Transnistrian dispute. There are two ways in which Russia - with Ukraine - could be involved in this issue short-term analysis considers group called "private CIA". One is attempting to bring under control Transnistria together with the rest of Moldova, the other is to maintain its hegemony only on Transnistria and to settle the division of the country, without checking the rest of Moldova.
Moldovan circumstances could make the country vulnerable to Russian plans. The government is weak and divided between members of the Alliance for European Integration (IEA), the challenges facing the Communist Party Standing (PCM) pro-Russian, which is currently in opposition. Even Monday, August 9, Marian Lupu, the Moldovan Democratic Party, part of the IEA, said that alliance "is not de facto."
One reason for tensions in the IEA considers Stratfor were controversial initiatives Interim President Michael Ghimpu day as declaring June 28 as Day of Soviet occupation - a decree of the Constitutional Court subsequently rejected. The idea has not only led to furious Transnistria and Russia to take revenge by blocking exports of wine Moldovan, but pragmatic and pro-polarized elements in Moldova, as the statements Lupu. This led to unpopularity and a return to the IEA surveys of PCM, creating conditions for possible return to power of Communists in elections scheduled for November.
Stratfor notes that Russia is not the only foreign power that wants to influence Moldova: Romania is a traditional suitor, which has close cultural and ethical eastern neighbor. Looking at developments in Ukraine, Romania aggressively courted Moldova, considering that it could be the next former Soviet state will return under the influence of Moscow. President Traian Basescu, reminds U.S. analysis group, said that Romania and Moldova would be reunited and that, if Ukraine will make any move to Transnistria and Moldova, Romania will use the Romanian minority in Ukraine - mainly from Bukovina - to cause Kiev . Ukraine and Russia have taken very seriously Basescu's statements, says Stratfor. Basescu's comments have sparked controversy and within Moldova, where many people oppose the division of the country between Ukraine and Romania, Moldova wishing to remain independent. At the end of its analysis, Stratfor believes that the Transnistrian conflict could slow down economic approach and energy of Russia and the EU, given the recent interest in Germany for cutting the frozen conflict Dniester. Extension is a Russian influence on Ukraine, and Moldavia but may be too much even for binevoitoarea Germany, considers Stratfor, which concludes: effect on EU-Russia relationship will depend on how far Moscow will decide to go to and increase the influence of Chisinau.
