Lipavský praises Moldovans’ election stand against Russian disinformation

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský (without party affiliation) has commended Moldovan citizens for their commitment to countering Russian disinformation and influence, following the re-election of pro-European President Maia Sandu. Posting on X, Lipavský highlighted the election as evidence of Moldovans’ desire to continue on a European path. In Sunday’s runoff, Sandu secured a ten-point lead over her opponent Alexandr Stoianoglo, with diaspora votes proving decisive. The first round, held on October 20, coincided with a referendum in which Moldovans narrowly approved a constitutional commitment to EU integration.
