U.S. Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) and U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Co-Chairmen of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission), will hold a briefing entitled "East or West? The future of Democracy in Moldova" on Wednesday, September 24 at 10:00 a.m. in room 311 of the Cannon House Office Building (in Washington, DC). <\/p>\n

The briefing will examine the state of democracy in the Republic of Moldova as it prepares for elections next year. The discussion comes in the wake of Russia’s recent armed intervention in Georgia, and its warning to Moldova not to use force to seize back control of the breakaway region of Transdniestria – a "frozen conflict" territory of the former Soviet Union. <\/p>\n

There will be three panelists at the briefing. Moldovan Ambassador to the United States, Nicolae Chirtoaca, will present the government position on the issue, \"\"followed by Vlad Lupan, a former Moldovan diplomat, now a representative of the Moldovan civil society groups, currently with the Soros Foundation-Moldova, European Initiatives Program, and William Hill, National Defense College, former Head of the OSCE Mission to Moldova. <\/p>\n
