IPN Agency reacted to the concerns expressed by Moldovan society, which fears that the day of May 9 may be used by different circles of interest as a pretext for particular kinds of provocations and for causing destabilization in Moldova. The concerns seem sufficiently justified in the context of the profound regional crisis that affects Moldova too. The given mini-series will present the opinions of representatives of central and local public authorities, of political parties and analysts and the measures by which the possible provocations can be prevented or annihilated.

Deputy mayor of Balti municipality Octavian Mahu has told IPN that in the morning of May 9 flowers will be laid in Balti town at the monuments to those killed in World War II. The event will involve World War II veterans and residents of the town. An artistic program will be held in the evening, which will end with fireworks.

Asked about the provocations possible on May 9, Octavian Mahu said this idea is disseminated by those who want such incidents to happen. “Anyway, there are over 60 national minorities in the municipality of Balti and we never witnessed actions or tendencies to cause conflicts,” he stated.

According to Mahu, there will be no provocations in Balti municipality n May 9. “There is no need for the police to be placed on alert. We have confidence in the residents of the municipality,” said the deputy mayor.
