Democratic Party of Moldova

Protesters against the newly approved Moldovan government broke into the building of the country's parliament on Wednesday.

The protesters led by the pro-Russian Socialist opposition stormed parliament only minutes after Moldovan MPs had approved a new pro-European government headed by Pavel Filip, deputy chairperson of the ruling Democratic Party.

The only possible election strategy that could offer any success to Serbia's liberal opposition parties is to create a coalition that could challenge Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic's ruling Progressive Party, according to analysts.

The parliament of Moldova passed a vote of no confidence in the country's pro-European coalition government.

A total of 65 out of 101 MPs voted in favour of the censure motion on Thursday, TASS news agency informs.

The Prime Minister of Moldova Chiril Gaburici announced on Friday his resignation, a day after the prosecution questioned him on his high-school and university diplomas.

Gaburici expressed regret that questions on his studies had become "an instrument of political game", making no comments on the contents of the allegations, Radio Free Europe reports.

Romanian analysts have expressed concerns that Moldova's chances for future integration into the European Union are diminishing after the formation of a weak minority government in the neighbouring former Soviet republic.

After months of negotiations, the Liberal Democratic Party, PLDM, and the Democratic Party, PDM, agreed late on January 23 to form a minority government in Moldova.

Pro-EU parties win most votes in Moldova

Three main pro-European Moldovan parties are likely to form a new ruling coalition since together they won the most votes in Sunday's election.

Despite the fact that the pro-Russian Socialist Party is the election winner with the highest number of votes, the pro-European parties are likely to be in power.
