Moldova's parliament voted on Thursday to hold parliamentary elections in September that could cut seats held by President Maia Sandu's pro-Western PAS party.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu hailed the country's narrow 50.4% vote in favour of EU accession, despite allegations of Russia-backed interference in the referendum.
Meta Platforms said on Friday it had removed a network of group accounts targeting Russian-speakers in Moldova ahead of the Oct. 20 election, for violation of the company's policy on fake accounts.
Moldova's opposition leader to President Maia Sandu's re-election face criticism for holding duel citizenship with neighbouring Romania on Tuesday - a criticism that has also been levelled at Sandu.
Moldova's presidential election will see a record 11 candidates, including incumbent Maia Sandu, who views the poll as a referendum on her EU integration efforts, electoral officials said on Tuesday.
