OPINION POLL ABOUT ATTITUDE TO MOLDOVA-ROMANIA UNIFICATION LAUNCHED IN CHISINAU

The European Socio-Political Center (CSPE) launched an opinion poll among Chisinau citizens concerning their attitude to the idea of Moldova-Romania unification.

CSPE Director Gheorghe Costandachi said at the Monday's press conference that citizens will be proposed to answer a single question: Do you support the unification with Romania?

"The opinion poll is carried out by 300 volunteers and via online-voting on the website www.decid.md within the period of April 2 through 14", he said, adding that the website faced hacker attacks several times, which suggests that someone does not want that real citizens' attitude towards the unification with Romania to be published.

According to him, it is very important to find out the real attitude of citizens to this issue, which plays a dividing role in the society and in fact divided citizens into two hostile camps.

He also said that international experts from the US, France and the Great Britain will participate in conducting of the poll.
