The pro-European party of Moldovan President Maia Sandu secured a victory and a new majority in parliament in elections seen as critical for her country's future path to the EU.&nbsp;Moldovans were voting&nbsp;on 28 September amidst Russian hybrid attacks and interference. Sandu´s&nbsp;&nbsp;Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) obtained 50% of the vote, with most of the 1.6m votes counted, far ahead of the pro-Russian Patriotic Electoral Bloc on under 25%. Turnout was 52%.

" The future of Moldova is in Europe, on this historic step forward, the people of Moldova have chosen the path of democracy, hope and opportunities.&nbsp;They have chosen Europe.", said President of the EP Roberta Metsola.

A delegation of MEPs, working with representatives of other international institutions, was&nbsp;observing Moldova’s parliamentary elections during the weekend.
