Paragraph 24
 

 In fact article 13(2) mixes up together the two situations. Some restrictions clearly seem to deal with the right to stand as a candidate, in particular: restrictions applying to persons who do not have the right to vote [13(2)b], to “persons convicted to deprivation of liberty by a final judgment of the law court and whose criminal record is not extinguished” [13(2)c], and to “persons deprived of the right to occupy responsibility functions by a final decision of the law court” [13(2)d]. It is less clear for the two other restrictions, which could be interpreted as incompatibilities, although it is not clearly specified: “serving military men” [13(2)a] and “persons who have beside the Republic of Moldova nationality and other nationality for the position of deputy in the conditions of Art. 75” [13(2) b¹].
