Alliance leader: Everything has been settled within the Alliance

Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance head Serafim Urechean told the press that the Alliance for European Integration "has settled everything, including the distribution of leadership positions" before the legislature's first meeting on Friday.

Mr. Urechean added that "you will find everything out at the right moment. Now we just need the Communist comrades to want tomorrow's meeting to happen."

Moldova Noastra is one of the four non-Communist parties that have formed a ruling coalition called the Alliance for European Integration. The Alliance holds 53 seats, which is enough to elect a Speaker and a Prime Minister, but is eight short of single-handedly picking a President. The Party of Communists has thus far been very reluctant to having talks with the Alliance and has said it will only negotiate with each individual party since the coalition "doesn't exist."
