TRANSNISTRIA AGAIN ASKS RUSSIA TO HELP SOLVE PROBLEM OF RELATIONS WITH MOLDOVA

20 march, 2020

The presidium of the Transnistrian supreme soviet [parliament] has addressed to the Council of the Federation [the Upper Chamber of Russia's bicameral legislative assembly] and to the Russian State Duma [Lower Chamber] with a request to help resolve the crisis that has evolved in Transnistria-Moldova relations lately.

The address said that last half a year, the official Chisinau has been ruining existing negotiation mechanisms, ignoring the accords reached earlier, deliberately building up pressure on and sanctions against Transnistria.

"Moldova would not stop politically motivated criminal litigations against Transnistria residents, most of whom are citizens of Russia. Chisinau violates the agreement on telecommunications signed in November 2017. This makes it impossible to organize a direct telephone communication between the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic [PMR] and the Republic of Moldova, does not permit a normal interaction between mobile telephony operators, causes the population's extra financial expenses, and deprives the residents of the two republics from receiving quality telecommunication services", wrote the PMR leadership.

In their words, the Transnistrian authorities constantly register provocations staged by Moldova in the Transnistria Security Zone, which is a sphere of responsibility of the ongoing joint peacekeeping operation.

The Transnistrian supreme soviet asked Russian colleagues to give an assessment of the stagnating problematic situation in the negotiations and to render a comprehensive assistance for lifting the unfounded restrictions imposed by Moldova with respect to the population and economic entities of Transnistria.
