Moldova: Pro-Moscow governor

Irina Vlah, who favours closer ties with Moscow, has been elected governor of a semi-autonomous region in Moldova.

Election officials said that Ms Vlah won more than 51 per cent of the vote in Sunday’s poll to be elected governor of Gagauzia.

Ms Vlah struck a conciliatory tone, saying she wanted economic development for Gagauzia and good relations with Moldovan authorities.
