It comes at a moment when hybrid threats are multiplying and the very idea of Moldova’s place in Europe is being contested. In our recent pre-electoral visit to Chișinău, we held extensive discussions with representatives of Moldova’s election administration bodies, political parties and candidates, civil society, and the media. As observers deeply immersed in Moldova’s electoral landscape, we see the upcoming parliamentary elections as a defining moment for the nation’s democratic trajectory. These elections unfold against a backdrop of profound political polarization, exacerbated by Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine and Moldova’s pursuit of European Union integration. Based on our established methodology, we will help determine the credibility of the process and our assessment could help solidify Moldova’s democratic path.
