Moldovan information environment has been a focus area for the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence (NATO StratCom COE) during the past year. We are now excited to invite you to share some of the results. The study has taken a novel approach by investigating mechanisms, which link societal vulnerabilities and people’s behaviour. The aim is to better understand the Moldovan information environment, especially the Kremlin narratives and their impact on Moldovan politics.

On 8 December, 2016 the NATO StratCom COE presented the key findings of the research, discuss hostile narratives targeted at Moldova and elsewhere and offer policy recommendations.
