A referendum in Moldova intended to put an end to decades of swerving between East and West yielded a microscopic win for the pro-Western crowd. The vote will amend the country’s constitution to lock in alignment with Europe rather than Russia. This Sunday, Moldovans will vote for their president in a run-off between firmly pro-Western President Maia Sandu and challenger Alexandr Stoianoglo. Katie Toth reports from the Moldovan capital Chișinău.
