MOSCOW (Reuters) -The Kremlin on Monday described Romania's presidential election as "strange", saying the pro-Russian candidate who won an aborted vote last year had been unfairly disqualified. Pro-European centrist Nicusor Dan defeated a hard-right, nationalist rival in Sunday's election - a re-run of the 2024 vote when front-runner Calin Georgescu was disqualified over what Romanian authorities said was an undeclared Russian influence campaign on his behalf. "The elections were strange, to say the least," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
