U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) holds hearing on Moldova

The U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission) recently held a hearing on Moldova. Speakers included Andrei Galbur, Moldova's Ambassador to the U.S.; Valentina Cusnir, a former M.P.; Nadine Gogu, the acting director of the Center for Independent Journalism (a leading media NGO in Moldova); and Louis O'Neill, former head of the OSCE Mission to Moldova (2006-2008).

The full unofficial transcript can be accessed here.

Mr. O'Neill also recently authored an article urging Moldova to "beware the Kiev trap."

Both are very good reads.
