One of the opposition leaders meets the Russian Ambassador in Chisinau

If the opposition manages to form a cabinet, its relationship with Russia will be an important topic to follow.

Serafim Urechean, head of the Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance, one of the three liberal opposition parties that gained seats in the next Parliament, confirmed yesterday that he met with Russian Ambassador to Chisinau Valery Kuzmin after the elections.

Mr. Urechean stressed that he did not talk about elections or negotiations surrounding the formation of a cabinet, but about "an entirely different topic."

A few days ago, Russian daily Kommersant said that Vlad Filat, head of the Liberal Democratic Party (another liberal opposition party), would soon visit Moscow to convince authorities there that he is "neither an enemy nor a nationalist."
