Chisinau, Tiraspol agree on settling more problems of major interest

Chisinau, 26 November /MOLDPRES/ - The political representatives in the process of negotiations on the Transnistrian problem settlement on behalf of Chisinau and Tiraspol on 25 November signed four protocol decisions which regulate the sectors of education, agriculture and telecommunications, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.  

Thus, the sides agreed on ensuring free movement of teachers and pupils of Latin-script schools from the left bank of Dniester. At the same time, the schools will be  provided with teaching materials and the needed things to carry out the education process. The tariffs paid by the education institutions for public utilities will be cut and the payment for buildings’ rent will be symbolical. 

At the same time, the sides regulated the process of apostillization of diplomas issued by the higher education institutions from the Transnistrian region. This measure will allow graduates of these institutions to continue studying abroad, including in the countries of the European Union.   

Another decision approved on 25 November is focused on access to the farmlands from the Dubasari district, placed beyond the Tiraspol-Camenca highway. To this end, the sides created a necessary framework for re-establishing the 2006 Mechanism of tilling lands, which will allow the owners and farmers from the villages of Dorotcaia, Cocieri, Cosnita, Molovata Noua, Pohrebea, Parata and Vasilievca cultivating their lands with no obstacles.     

Also, actions will be undertaken to re-establish the fixed and mobile phone connection between the two banks of the Dniester river.   

It is worth mentioning that a bridge across the Dniester river connecting the settlements Gura Bacului and Bacioc was opened on 18 November 2017.
