20 parties have registered in the current election campaign. Many people say it is a too big number for such a small country as Moldova. At the same time, much more parties could take part in the election campaign.

CHISINAU, 2 April 2009 - "We continue to urge both sides to find a mutual understanding to allow voters from Corjova to exercise freely their right to vote in the Moldovan Parliamentary Elections this Sunday," Efthymiou and Remler said in a joint statement in Chisinau. "We urge them to avoid incidents that can also have consequences beyond the election process."
Jurisdiction over Corjova is disputed between the central authorities in Chisinau and regional authorities in Tiraspol. During the 2005 parliamentary elections, voting took place in Corjova, following an understanding between the central authorities in Chisinau and regional authorities. However, Transdniestrian authorities blocked attempts to carry out mobile voting for home-bound voters.
During the 2007 local elections in Corjova, Transdniestrian law enforcement bodies prevented voters from entering the polling station. When the central authorities attempted to organize repeat elections, the Transdniestrians closed down the polling station by force.
"We are in direct contact with the sides. We have urged them to meet and discuss the issue, and we have offered to facilitate meetings. We strongly believe that a solution can be found, as the 2005 experience proves," Efthymiou and Remler said.
The OSCE Mission to Moldova is prepared to monitor if an agreement is reached, Remler said.
"However, monitoring does not guarantee security. It is the responsibility of both sides to take mutual steps to ensure there are no incidents," Remler and Efthymiou concluded. "These can only result from direct discussions. We are concerned that no talks have taken place."
