If it is decided that the President of Moldova will be elected in Parliament, the date of presidential elections will be set in the first plenary sitting of the legislature on February 16, Info-Prim Neo reports. ”Certain decisions are to be taken before the start of the parliamentary session. If the decision is taken to elect the head of state in Parliament, the date of presidential elections will be agreed in the first plenary sitting. I think the President will be elected,” Prime Minister Vlad Filat told the press on Thursday. According to the Premier, the Constitution should be amended so as to prevent blockages in the election of the President and political crises in the future. “The referendum will take place either before the presidential elections or after them. Amendments should be made to the Constitution, but they can be made in Parliament as well,” said Vlad Filat. The leaders of the Alliance for European Integration on January 15 said a constitutional referendum will be held by the end of April to modify the procedure for electing the head of state.
