The US Helsinki Commission will organize a briefing in Washington, D.C. to discuss about the political stalemate from Moldova and the recent developments in Transnistria. “Moldova: The Growing Pains of Democracy” is the topic of the briefing which will be held on January 31, 2012.<\/p>\n

Among the questions which will be discussed are the following: Is Moldova’s political deadlock proof that the democratic process is working or evidence of a failing system? Is Russia losing the ability to impose its own flagging brand of “sovereign democracy” in nearby separatist enclaves? What can the United States do to encourage Moldova’s slow, but steady progress toward greater implementation of Helsinki commitments?<\/p>\n
