"We are working to ensure that all citizens can exercise this constitutional right, including those who are not in Moldova, ie diaspora. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration is working to identify polling stations abroad, but due to the pandemic, in several states there are difficulties in opening polling stations ", he concluded.
