CHISINAU (Reuters) -Moldova's election authority excluded the pro-Russian political party 'Greater Moldova' from participating in Sunday's parliamentary vote due to suspected illegal financing, officials said on Saturday.

The decision was made late on Friday. It is the second pro-Russian party to be excluded within days of the vote, amid concerns over alleged Russian interference, the country's election process, and the future of Moldova's EU aspirations.
