Sunday’s presidential election and EU referendum takes place amid concerns over interference from Moscow
Moldovans head to the polls on Sunday for a presidential election and an EU referendum that will mark a pivotal moment in the tug-of-war between Russia and the west over the future of the small, landlocked south-east European country of fewer than 3 million people
