More than a third of voters took part in the referendum, and the constitutional amendment was supported by the majority of participants in the referendum.
The Moldovan Parliament will be dealing with the issues of the country's accession to the EU, including joining the bloc's founding treaties, after the Moldovan constitution is appropriately changed.
At the October 20 referendum on Moldova’s accession to the EU, 50.46% of the country's citizens voted in favor of that decision, while 49.54% voted against it.
