KISHINEV, 26 September. The Russian ambassador in Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, has described the current election campaign in Moldova as the dirtiest he has ever encountered.

"To be honest, I have never seen a dirtier election campaign. I have worked and lived in many countries, including those long regarded as models of democracy, such as France and England. There, too, of course, there have been attacks, very dirty ones. But in terms of the level of lies, slander and distortion of facts, the Moldovan campaign certainly surprised me," the diplomat said in an interview with the agency's correspondent.
