​DODON AND KRASNOSELSKY AGREE TO SIMPLIFY PEOPLE’S MOVEMENT ACROSS THE DNIESTER RIVER

On Wednesday, Moldova President Igor Dodon and Transnistria president Vadim Krasnoselsky held a telephone talk and agreed upon simplifying the rules of crossing the Dniester by the people.

Dodon wrote on his Facebook page afterwards that the interlocutors had analyzed the current situation in the Transnistria Security Zone namely in the Moldova-controlled villages situated on the left, eastern river side. To travel to the right river side, i.e. to the mainland Moldova, these villagers have to go through populated areas and territories forming a part of the Transnistrian region, or to use a ferry.

When a state of emergency was announced due to the COVID-19, the Transnistrian authorities closed the border with Moldova. Certainly, this situation creates considerable problems for the residents of the Moldovan villages of Cocieri, Vasilievca, Molovata Noua, Roghi and some other on the left bank.

President Dodon wrote today that the sides have agreed to take measures to simplify the local residents’ movement from one Dniester bank to the other.
