Its authority is vested in the Constitution of Moldova. The President is one of many permanent members of the council and chairs all of its meetings.

Why this record matters

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q85804260. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2025 and 2009.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
