Online event: The State of Moldova

Join us for the State of Moldova online event on 14 October at 3:00 PM CEST / 9:00 AM EDT.

During the event, we will discuss both the outcome of Moldova’s parliamentary elections and the democratic resilience of the process.

The pro-European Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), aligned with President Maia Sandu, secured a decisive victory with over 50% of the vote, ensuring the continuation of reforms and EU accession talks. The campaign was marked by unprecedented Russian interference, including disinformation campaigns, online manipulation, and financial support for pro-Kremlin parties. These tactics illustrate the evolving forms of hybrid pressure Moscow applies across the region.

The event will be held alongside the release of our latest quarterly report, Russian Threats Rise. How Does CEE Fund Its Security?
