NO NEW PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS IN MOLDOVA, EXPERT SAYS

Published: 11 March 2005 y., Friday
Moldovan communists will solve the issue concerning the reelection of President Vladimir Voronin and there will be no new Parliamentary elections, President of the Institute of National Strategy Stanislav Belkovsky believes. "Currently the communists hold negotiations with the opposition in order to form coalition power and thus the issue concerning the reelection of President Vladimir Voronin and the formation of the government under his control will be solved. Therefore, the scenario for the new parliamentary elections seems to be unreal," Mr. Belkovsky said at the press-conference in RIA Novosti. He believes that after the reelection Mr. Voronin will be displaying his loyalty towards Russia and persuade it to give away Transdniestria. "Mr. Voronin will try to settle the Transdniestrian issue as quickly as possible. To perform that he will need the Russian troops to be withdrawn from Transdniestria. If he fails, Chisinau will stake on Ukraine," he noted. Commenting on Moldovan intention to join the European Union, Mr. Belkovsky said that in the coming 20-30 years neither Ukraine nor Moldova have any chances.
