CHISINAU: Moldovans on Sunday (Oct 20) voted against the ex-Soviet republic joining the EU in a referendum, according to partial results published by the election commission, a potential setback for pro-European President Maia Sandu as she seeks re-election.
With almost 60 per cent of the vote counted, more than 55 per cent said “no” and almost 45 per cent said “yes”, but results could yet change as votes are counted in the capital Chisinau, which is favourable to joining the EU, and abroad.
