People in Moldova headed to polls on Sunday to vote in a presidential election runoff that could play a crucial role in the country's European future, amid fears of meddling from Russia.
Pro-European Union incumbent Maia Sandu is facing off with former prosecutor general Alexandr Stoianoglo, who is backed by the pro-Russian Socialist Party, in a taut second-round.
Sandu bagged 42.5% of the vote in the first round of the presidential ballot.
Stoianoglo — who was fired as prosecutor general by Sandu last year — got 26% of the vote.
