摩尔多瓦议会选举计票结果显示,主张与欧洲加强关系的政党领先于主张与俄罗斯增进关系的政党。

星期一清晨,85%的选票已经清点完毕,亲欧洲各政党共赢得44%左右的选票。摩尔多瓦议会共有101个议席。

主张与俄罗斯增进关系的社会党得到21%的选票,在各党中居于领先地位,但作为整体,亲俄政党只获得39%的选票。

今年早些时候,摩尔多瓦与欧盟签署了一项具有历史意义的协议,俄罗斯对此表示强烈反对,俄罗斯军队驻扎在讲俄语的摩尔多瓦分离地区德涅斯特。

该协议规定,摩尔多瓦人前往西欧可免签证,可进入自由贸易区,并能获得数亿欧元资助。作为报复,俄罗斯禁止进口多种摩尔多瓦食品。
摩尔多瓦位于乌克兰和欧盟成员国罗马尼亚之间,是欧洲最小、最贫穷的国家之一。

Results from parliamentary elections in Moldova show parties that want to pursue closer ties to Europe leading those that want closer relations with Russia.

With 85 percent of the vote counted early Monday, a group of pro-Europe parties had about 44 percent of the vote for the 101-member parliament.

The Socialist Party, which wants Moldova to work more with Russia, led individual parties with 21 percent, but overall pro-Russian parties trailed with a total of 39 percent.

Moldova signed a historic agreement with the European Union earlier this year, despite bitter opposition from Russia, which has troops stationed in the Russian-speaking breakaway region of Transdniestr.

The accord gave people in Moldova visa-free travel to Western Europe, access to a free trade zone and hundreds of millions of euros in funding.  Russia retaliated with an embargo on imports of many Moldovan foods.

Moldova, one of Europe's smallest and poorest countries, is wedged between Ukraine and EU member Romania.
