Prosecutors say pro-Kremlin governor was involved in the systemic smuggling of Russian money into Moldova to buy voters and support political groups linked to the convicted oligarch Ilan Shor.

Ilan Shor said his new 'Victory' political bloc will campaign for an end to EU integration and for closer ties to Russia – which he called Moldova's 'traditional partner'.

Top court rules that presidential elections and referendum on Moldova's EU integration will be held simultaneously on October 20.

Against the odds, Moldova has taken the world of robotics by storm.

Pro-Moscow Governor says deal with Russian bank will allow the region to overcome 'an economic blockade' imposed by the country's pro-Western government.

The Moldovan government will respond after the country’s pro-Russian ex-President Igor Dodon complained to the European Court of Human Rights that the pro-European authorities in Chisinau abused his right to a fair trial.

Pro-Western leaders hail 15th anniversary of popular uprising against Communist leadership as start of a new democratic era - but leading pro-Russian politician says it was the start of Moldova's 'transformation into a foreign colony and a dictatorship'.

Moldova's top court has ruled that changes to the electoral code adopted last year – banning fugitive oligarch Ilan Shor's candidates from elections – were unconstitutional.
