Relations between Moldova and Russia throughout 2017
Recently, relations between Moldovan and Russia become more and more tense. Everything begun in March, when President of Moldovan Parliament, Andrian Candu and Prime Minister, Pavel Filip have summoned ambassador of Russia to Moldova, Farit Muhametșin, to present a protest note regarding the abusive acts from Russian Special Services against Moldovan Officials.
Officials were stopped from entering Russia, questioned, search and treated in a humiliating way. At the end of May, five Russian persons were declared persona non grata in Moldova at the recommendation of Information and Security Service.
