Moldovan President Maia Sandu described the referendum as a "difficult fight" and stated that while pro-EU supporters won the first round, the situation was "unjust" given the context of foreign interference.
EU spokesperson Peter Stano highlighted that the voting process for joining the EU occurred "under unprecedented interference and intimidation by Russia and its proxies," emphasizing the challenges Moldova faced.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Sandu's claims of foreign interference by stating that she would need to provide "evidence" to back up her allegations, showcasing the ongoing tensions.
The narrow margin of the vote, with 50.46% in favor and 49.54% against EU membership, indicates a deeply divided sentiment within Moldova regarding its future alignment.
