BRUSSELS - Russia is planning to sabotage a referendum on EU integration in Moldova, Chișinău's spy service has warned, as EU diplomats fear bad "surprises" also in the Western Balkans.
"Attempts are being made to compromise a referendum on European integration, interfere in the presidential elections, as well as discredit government institutions and politicians who support Moldova's accession to the European Union," said Alexandru Musteata, the director of the Intelligence and Security Services (SIS), in the Moldovan capital on Tuesday.
