Following are the approved symbols:

• Vladimir Guritenco — symbol of the Democratic Party, three roses in a circle;
• Zinaida Grecianii — symbol of the Party of Moldovan Communists, the hammer and the sickle and an open book;
• Vladimir Garaba — symbol of the Ecological Movement, sunflower;
• Dorin Chirtoaca — symbol of the Liberal Party, two children hands in hands going to letters “PL”;
• Iuliana Gorea-Costin — a three-corner pyramid, one of which represents the endless column;
• Dumitru Braghis — his symbol contains the words “for Chisinau”, on a blue background, while the word “for” is written in a rectangle.
• Mihai Severovan — his symbol represents the figure “10” in a circle.

CECC approved the texts of ballot papers, which cover the first and last names of candidate, year of birth, job, office, and his party.

Candidate Gheorghe Sima appealed the CECC, demanding the suspension of publication of Patria-Rodina-Ravnopravye, which “discriminates the candidates to the Chisinau mayor post and undermines the interethnic relations in capital and country”. CECC decided to deliver Sima’s appeal to the Prosecutor-General’s Office. The council considered the complaint of a citizen from Chisinau, who contested the violation of public order by advertising agents of competitor Dumitru Braghis. CECC turned down the complaint, saying that no violation was committed in the case concerned. (By Info-Prim)
