Russia plans to open 16 polling stations in Transnistria, Moldova's Foreign Ministry responds
Moldova's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has criticized Moscow's plan to open additional polling stations for elections to the Russian State Duma in the unrecognized Transnistrian region.
Moldova's Foreign Ministry has expressed strong disapproval of Russia's plan to establish 16 additional polling stations in the Transnistrian region for the upcoming Russian State Duma elections. This move, according to diplomats, is not in line with Moldova's constitutional authorities and could be seen as a violation of Moldova's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Transnistrian leader, Vadim Krasnoselsky, had previously announced plans to open 17 polling stations in Transnistria for the elections, claiming that around 220,000 Russian citizens reside in the region. In response to this, Moldova's Bureau for Reintegration emphasized that such actions without the country's consent would be deemed illegal.
Moldova's stance highlights the importance of respecting the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity when it comes to electoral processes.
