On May 28, Moldovan Parliament postponed the presidential elections on the grounds of a national holiday. According to PCRM sources, the real reason for deferring the voting regards PCRM candidate Zinaida Grecianii’s academic grades.

Voronin expressed his discontent before delaying the elections. This could lead to choosing a different candidate for Moldova’s presidency.
