CHISINAU (Reuters) - Moldova's parliament voted on Thursday to hold parliamentary elections in September, a poll that is expected to be closely fought and could significantly reduce the number of seats held by President Maia Sandu's pro-Western PAS party.
Sandu is seeking to take Moldova into the European Union and move away from Moscow, which formerly ruled the small eastern European nation sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania.
