Ways of settling Transnistrian conflict discussed in Moldovan capital

Chisinau, 20 December /MOLDPRES/ - The leader of the Moldovan Democratic Party (PDM), Vlad Plahotniuc, and Head of the OSCE Mission in Moldova Claus Neukirch have discussed ways of settling the Transnistrian at a meeting in Chisinau.  

The PDM leader made a short analysis of the situation in Moldova, referring to the results of the Democrats’ governance in the last three years, as well as to the present political realities.

As for the situation in Moldova’s eastern region, the PDM leader reaffirmed the present governance’s wish to settle the Transnistrian conflict by peaceful means, to reunify the country and for the withdrawal of the foreign troops from the national territory. Vlad Plahotniuc said that the protocols between Chisinau and Tiraspol, signed one year ago, had yielded results in 2018, bringing benefits to Moldova’s citizens from both banks of Dniester. The Democrats’ leader also touched upon the fact that Moldova was presently keeping control of the state border, including on the Transnistrian segment, which represents a strengthening of the national security.

Head of the OSCE Mission in Moldova Claus Neukirch praised the efforts of the governance to bring close the citizens from both banks of Dniester, including through the protocols signed in late 2017. He specified that the small steps of rapprochement between citizens were beneficial.

Claus Neukirch was appointed head of the OSCE Mission in Chisinau in last September.
