Kremlin: Russia is not trying to influence the election processes in Moldova and Georgia
Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, stated that Russia is not trying and is unlikely to have the opportunity to influence the election processes in Moldova and Georgia, Paralel.Az reports citing Interpressnews.ge.
"You know that we are not trying at all, and I don't think we have the opportunity to influence the development of the situation in these countries, the election processes," Peskov said when he answered the question of how the Kremlin would react to accusations that Russia is trying to influence the elections in Moldova and Georgia.
Presidential elections and a referendum on European integration issues were held in Moldova on October 20. President Maia Sandu, after the Central Election Commission released preliminary data showing that more than half of Moldova's citizens were against European integration, declared an unprecedented attack on the country's freedom and democracy.
According to him, there were evidences that criminal groups tried to bribe voters and that there were 150,000-300,000 votes.
