Pro-Europe parties win Moldova election

(AP)A leading exit poll predicted that pro-Europe parties will win enough combined votes to defeat Moldova's ruling Communist Party in national elections Wednesday — raising the likelihood that the impoverished ex-Soviet republic will move closer to the West. The poll by the Institute for Public Politics projected that four center-right opposition parties won 54.9 percent of the vote in parliamentary balloting widely seen as a referendum on whether to linger in Russia's loose orbit or edge toward the European Union. It said President Vladimir Voronin's Communists — who have held power since 2001 — were trailing with 40.5 percent.
