Pro-EU parties began talks yesterday on forming a coalition as near-complete results showed them in a strong position despite a drop in support.
With 90.6 per cent of the vote counted, the three pro-Europe Union parties had about 44.6 per cent, with 39.3 per cent shared between two parties seen as pro-Russia.
The pro-EU share was down from nearly 52 per cent in 2010.
“I’m not very happy with results, but we can offer a skeleton to build a pro-European government,” said Liberal Democrat Party leader Vlad Filat, whose party was in second place with nearly 19.5 per cent.
The largest share of the vote went to the pro-Russia Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova Party, which took 21.4 per cent.
Although the pro-EU parties could remain in government, they do not have enough seats to elect a president, which could lead to political problems.
