The summit of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) began in Chisinau today. Officials from CIS countries gathered in the Palace of the Republic to talk about various topics like migration and to adopt a common document about the Allied victory over the Axis powers in World War II.
Most of the media attention, however, seems to have been directed toward the interaction between Moldovan and Russian officials. Moldovan Foreign Minister Iurie Leanca met with CIS Executive Council head Sergei Lebedev and with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
The Moldovan Parliament's press office has also confirmed that Russian President Dmitri Medvedev will be meeting with Speaker and interim President Mihai Ghimpu, as well as with the Alliance for European Integration's presidential candidate Marian Lupu.
It is unclear if Mr. Medvedev will have a meeting with Party of Communists (PC) head and former President Vladimir Voronin.
Analysts have said that Russia has slowly warmed up to the new Moldovan Government after it realized that throwing its entire support to the PC carried a lot of risks, particularly losing some degree of control over policy-making in Moldova if the Communists lose.
