Internationaldesk:

The European Union on Monday welcomed the re-election of Moldova's pro-European President Maia Sandu, in a tense vote that has laid bare divisions in the former Soviet republic bordering war-torn Ukraine.
Backed by the country's large diaspora, Sandu won 55.41 percent of votes, according to near-complete results published by the election commission.
Her rival, Alexandr Stoianoglo, who is supported by the pro-Russian Socialists, won 44.59 percent.
