A Moldovan court has confirmed on Thursday the Parliament Speaker, Mihai Ghimpu, as acting president.
A statement by the Constitutional Court recognized Ghimpu, who is also one of the leaders in a pro-European coalition, as acting president, rejecting a procedural challenge by the communists, BGNES reported.
The pro-European coalition won a parliamentary election in July over the communists, gaining enough seats to form a government but not to elect a president.
