Eugeniu Știrbu has been the chairman of the Central Election Commission since November 11, 2005. On June 21, 2010, Știrbu was arrested as he was crossing the Kuchurgan checkpoint on his way from Odesa Airport to Chișinău, after a flight to Poland, where he had observed the presidential poll. Taken to Tiraspol, Știrbu learned that the separatist authorities had initiated criminal proceedings against him in 2007 for organizing elections in the much-disputed village of Corjova, Dubăsari. Later that day, the release was possible due to the intervention of Ambassador Philip Remler, the head of the OSCE Mission to Moldova.
