CHISINAU (Reuters) - Moldova's state-owned broadcaster said on Saturday that vandals had poured paint across an entrance to its building in the capital, Chisinau, a day after police blamed similar incidents on a group trained in Moscow to destabilise upcoming elections.

"We are not afraid of this act of vandalism, as long as we are devoted to society and citizens," Teleradio-Moldova's deputy director general, Andrei Zapsa, said, adding that the station had always known it could be targeted by "radical groups."
