MOLDOVA AND TRANSNISTRIA SPEAKERS TO MEET IN BRUSSELS
13.05.2008
Chisinau. Moldovan Parliament Chairman Marian Lupu and Chairman of the Transnistrian supreme soviet [parliament] Yevgeny Shevchuk will hold an informal meeting in Brussels on May 14.
In the capital of Belgium, they will partake in the EU-organized roundtable conference on human trafficking prevention. Their informal meeting will be attended by European Union Special Representative for Moldova Kalman Mizsei and other EU officials.
On Tuesday, Marian Lupu left for Brussels at the head of a Moldovan Parliament delegation, whose aim is to take part in the roundtable and in “consolidating of the dialog with the European Union to implement Moldova’s striving for European integration”, as the Parliament’s Press Service wrote in its press release.
For Yevgeny Shevchuk, this visit to Brussels is his first overseas trip as a parliament speaker. Its has become possible after the European Union had crossed his name from the list of top Transnistria figures, to whom the doors to European Union Member States had been shut for over 5 years since February 2003.
The Brussels meeting of the two speakers will be the first such event on the level of parliaments between Moldova and Transnistria since 2001.
