Council of Europe officials: changes to Moldovan Constitution are essential

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) recently announced that Josette Durrieu (France, SOC) and Egidijus Vareikis (Lithuania, EPP/CD), who are co-rapporteurs of the organization for Moldova, said that changes to the Moldovan Constitution are essential.

An excerpt of the statement says:
"We have taken note of the results of the second round of the presidential election in Moldova, which took place today, and we note that the institutional deadlock continues. Clearly, in pursuance of the legislation in force, parliament must be dissolved and parliamentary elections held in 2010. In the meantime, the Speaker of Parliament carries out the duties of the President of the Republic. This is a temporary situation which must not endure."
