CHISINAU, May 13. /TASS/. Moldovans are divided over their country’s possible membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) or the European Union (EU), according to the public opinion poll results released by the Association of Sociologists and Demographers on Monday.

Thus, as many as 39.1% of Moldovans said they would support their country’s joining the EAEU, while slightly fewer (37.5%) said they would opt for the EU membership should a relevant referendum be organized.

Meanwhile, as many as 6.3% of the polled said they would not take part in the voting and 5.9% were undecided. A total of 11.2% of respondents said the country should not join any unions at all.
