European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy, Stefan Fule had a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of Moldova, Vlad Filat, whom he congratulated on the outcome of the parliamentary elections of November 28. European Commissioner also mentioned the common positive score of democratic parties, wishing successes in negotiations on the establishment of a post-election ruling coalition and reiterated the EU support for democratic processes in the republic, as well as for the achievement of European integration aspirations.

Moldovan Prime Minister also had phone conversations with:

• President of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, who announced that on December 10 he will pay a visit to Moldova;
• Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who wished successes in establishing a strong post-electoral alliance, which would ensure continuity of democratic processes started earlier, especially those aimed at Moldova’s European integration;
• Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban.

Central Electoral Commission (CEC) expressed its disagreement to the information published in some mass media saying that the results of early parliamentary elections on November 28, 2010 have been manipulated through supplementary voter lists. In a special statement, the CEC communicates:

• 123,250 voters voted on supplementary electoral lists in the parliamentary elections of 2001;
• in 2005 — 159,869 voters voted on additional electoral lists;
• on April 5, 2009 — 117,794 voters on supplementary electoral lists;
• on July 29, 2009 — 100,906 voters on supplementary electoral lists.

On parliamentary elections of November 28, 2010 165,580 citizens voted on supplementary electoral lists, of whom 65,500 abroad (in the previous parliamentary elections — maximum 19,000 citizens, most on additional lists). CEC notes that after the amendments made in September to the Electoral Code, the additional lists were mostly used for students and pupils with the right to vote, who don’t have their domicile or residence in the localities where they study, these lists were also used for those domiciled or resident in the Transnistrian region and detainees. Consequently, the number of citizens who voted in the elections of November 28, 2010 on supplementary voters’ lists because of the errors in basic voter lists is significantly lower than in previous elections, which indicates a better quality of basic electoral lists.
