Eugeniu Ştirbu (born August 8, 1945, Petreni) is a politician from Moldova.
Eugeniu Ştirbu served as a member of the Parliament of Moldova (1998-2001).[1] He was the General Secretary of Democratic Party of Moldova.[2]
Eugeniu Ştirbu has been the chairman of the Central Election Commission since November 11, 2005. On June 21, 2010, Ştirbu was arrested as he was crossing the Kuchurgan checkpoint on his way from Odessa Airport to Chişinău, after a flight to Poland, where he had observed the presidential poll. Taken to Tiraspol, Ştirbu 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.[3]
