Tiraspol intends to request from UNO special status for Transnistrian region

Chisinau, 06 September /MOLDPRES/ – The leader of the self-proclaimed Transnistrian Moldovan Republic (TMR), Vadim Krasnoselsky, has called on the supreme soviet of the region to support his addressing to the United Nations, which contains the request to grant unrecognized republic status as an observer to the UN, reports the Russian agency TASS.

"I propose that we jointly address the UN with the request to grant Transnistria a special status. There are such examples in international practice, as Palestine. And we have such a right," said Krasnoselsky. According to him, there are 500,000 people of different nationalities living in the region, whose opinion is not taken into account in the UN. "Although this organization unites some nations and not states," said the leader of Tiraspol.

Similarly, Krasnoselsky expressed his concern about the intensification of relations with Chisinau and stagnation in the format "5+2" negotiations. "If we do not take into account the period when there was war, then the current situation is one of the most complicated from the point of view of the external factor," said Vadim Krasnoselsky.

Earlier, the Government of the Republic of Moldova addressed the UN, asking to replace Russian peacekeepers with a civilian mission with an international mandate.
