Sensitive But Unclassified; Please Protect Accordingly

(SBU) Embassy Chisinau recommends raising the following points with
Moldovan Government (GOM) representatives at the annual Human
Dimension Implementation Meeting in Warsaw:

-- Ensure that media access for political parties and candidates is
unhindered before the Spring 2009 parliamentary elections; ensure
that government does not influence or pressure media
inappropriately.

-- Ensure that the Central Election Commission continues to maintain
its commendable neutrality in registering candidates and conducting
the vote;

-- Continue to enhance efforts to prevent trafficking in persons,
protect victims, and prosecute perpetrators. (NOTE: Moldova was
rated Tier 3 on June 4. After a 60-day period to institute a plan
of action, its progress will be assessed by G/TIP within 30 days.
END NOTE.); and

-- Continue to implement improvements in registration procedures and
access to public places for all religious groups in Moldova, as
provided for by the Law on Religion adopted in August 2007.
