Meanwhile, incumbent Maia Sandu was closer to a second term in office, after partial results in the country’s presidential election gave her a small lead over her main rival.

      Not quite. The presidential election isn’t decided yet and this referendum wasn’t directly on joining the EU but on a constitutional amendment that would have required future governments to work towards joining the EU.

      Honestly, Moldova is too divided in this regard. Not to mention the Transnistria issue. If they were to join the EU in their current state, there’s a chance we’d just end up with another Hungary/Slovakia situation. They need much more time IMO.

      Everything just stayed the same plus one less headache to deal with in the EU. Not bad, really, considering all that’s been going on in the last 10 years.
