Krasnoselky

The current leader of the breakaway region of Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselsky, won so-called presidential elections on Sunday with 79 per cent of the votes, after most potential rivals were eliminated from the race and with few foreign observers.

Vadim Krasnoselsky told foreign diplomats on Tuesday evening that the breakaway region wants to launch an international lawsuit over "the aggression against the people of Transnistria".

He said that Transnistria will ask for compensation.
