Ukrainian Ambassador to Moldova Sergei Pirojkov recently announced that Kiev will open two polling stations in Moldova on January 17, when Ukrainians will elect their President.
Mr. Pirojkov added that Ukraine would not open stations in Transnistria.
Ukraine's Central Electoral Commission says that about 70,000 Ukrainian citizens live in Moldova, most of them in the separatist republic. The ones who will want to vote will have to travel to Chisinau or to Balti (the largest city in the north of Moldova).
Recently, Romania opened 13 polling stations in Moldova during its own presidential elections. None of them were in Transnistria, however.
During the State Duma elections in Moscow two years ago, Russia opened 24 polling stations in Transnistria alone, despite protests from Moldovan officials. About 110,000 Russian citizens live in the breakaway republic.
