Moldova's new prime minister, Maia Sandu, has entered the residence of the government with ministers without any obstacles, Tass agency has reported.

Moldova's Democratic Party (PDM) said the government of Prime Minister Pavel Filip had resigned. Vladimir Cebotari, vice president of PDM, announced the decision at a news conference in Chisinau on June 14.

He said PDM decided to stand down in an effort to resolve the weeklong political crisis that pitted the party against a coalition between the ACUM pro-EU alliance and the pro-Russian Socialist Party following months of political limbo caused by an inconclusive parliamentary election.

Moldova's Constitutional Court on June 7 ordered the dissolution of parliament and ordered new elections to be held. The basis of the ruling was a Moldovan law that requires a government to be formed within three months of the certification of election results.

A new government was formed in Moldova last week with Maia Sandu, the leader of the Party of Action and Solidarity, as the prime minister after the opposition Party of Socialists supporting Moldovan President Igor Dodon finally managed to reach agreement with the pro-EU bloc Acum (Now) to oppose the Democratic Party led by oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc.
