Democratic Party head and presidential hopeful Marian Lupu to head to Russia, Brussels

Democratic Party head Marian Lupu, who is also the ruling Alliance for European Integration's presidential candidate, announced he would head for Sankt Petersburg on November 20 to attend a United Russia congress. Mr. Lupu's party is developing strong ties with the ruling party in Russia.

Mr. Lupu will then head to Brussels to meet with numerous European officials.

Some analysts have said that Mr. Lupu may be going to Russia for the second time in the last few weeks to garner the Kremlin's support for his presidential bid. Until recently, Moscow had close ties with the Party of Communists, but seems to have become more friendly toward Mr. Lupu and the Democrats. The Alliance needs eight Communist votes to be able to elect Mr. Lupu.
