“This is a whole complex of measures, its implementing do not start immediately, there is necessary more time”, Martinco said.
He said the Moldovan Railroad Company must institute a check-point for receiving-transferring goods on the Moldo-Ukrainian border, and “that will probably be the old office of the border crossing station Slobodka”.
Infotag's dossier: Ukrainian station Slobodka is placed in 36 km from the Rabnita metallurgical factory – one of the biggest Transnistrian enterprises providing main part of regional exports. This part of the road does not function because of difficulties between Chisinau and Tiraspol; and enterprise goods go round the state, making the 500 km detour via Moldova’s north. Annual enterprise losses for transportation make about US$12-13 million. According to the factory leaders, Ukrainian authorities agree to install the Moldo-Ukrainian railroad check-point at the Slobodka station, which would control whole enterprise goods crossing Transnistrian territory after being registered in the Moldovan station Mateuti.
