read recent report concering arms shipments and Moldova:

"Although it is difficult to obtain exact figures, there is a general understanding that
Moldova retains significant SALW stockpiles and would welcome an opportunity to
sell at least some of them on the international market. There is therefore no guarantee
that the recent pattern [ of reduction in SALW ]of minimal transfers will continue."
