Moldovan President Maia Sandu shook up her government by appointing a top security adviser to be premier as the former Soviet republic bordering Ukraine confronts an increasingly perilous geopolitical environment.
Dorin Recean, 48, a former interior minister and senior aide, will replace Natalia Gavrilita, 45, as prime minister, Sandu told reporters Friday. The appointment requires the approval of Moldova’s parliament, where Sandu’s pro-European party controls a majority.
