Moldovan opposition leader Ilan Shor said that the Moldovan authorities are preparing to arrest the head of Gagauzia, Evgenia Gutsul, after her return from Sochi. On March 6, it was reported that the Prosecutor General’s Office of Moldova intends to send to court a criminal case in which Evgeni Gutsal appears.

President of Moldovan Maia Sandu claimed that she does not plan to sign a decree appointing the head as a member of the government, although this is required by the country's legislation.
