Moldovan President Maia Sandu is vying for EU member status, amid fears of a Russian-backed coup.
By Sam HancockA huge pro-EU rally has taken place in Moldova's capital Chisinau, organised by the country's President Maia Sandu.
Her pro-Western government previously accused Russia of stoking tensions by supporting Moldova's pro-Russian opposition Sor party. Moscow denies meddling in the country's affairs."We don't want to be on the outskirts of Europe anymore," she said, pledging that Moldova would become a European Union member nation by 2030.
Russia's foreign ministry dismissed the accusations, branding them "completely unfounded and unsubstantiated".
