People in Moldova have backed the Eastern European country’s proposed changes to its constitution and commitment to joining the EU by the thinnest of margins in a referendum.The referendum had been widely expected to comfortably pass in the country of 2.6 million, which borders Romania and Ukraine.
The vote was combined with presidential elections in which Maia Sandu, the incumbent pro-EU president, failed to win re-election outright and faces a second round next month.
In recent weeks Moldovan authorities uncovered a giant scheme of payments coming from Moscow – and paid to people to vote against Sandu and the EU referendum.
Russia denies the allegations of meddling. On Monday, the Kremlin branded Moldova’s votes as "unfree".
