alf of Moldovans voted "yes" in Sunday's referendum on the country's EU aspirations, early results showed, putting the small nation tugged between East and West on a path towards joining the single market despite pressure from Russia. With 97.66% of the vote counted, 50% of Moldovans voted "yes", according to results given on Moldova's Central Election Commission's website. The final result was still in the balance, however. Hours earlier, partial results had shown 57% unwilling to commit to joining the EU. Analysts said ballots from the largely pro-EU diaspora were counted towards the end, giving the "yes" campaign last-moment push.
