Moldova tightens blockade of Transnistria: more than a thousand residents of the region are left without work
In Transnistria, 1300 people are left without work due to the fact that Chisinau has not allowed three large enterprises to export cargo for sale for 5 months.
This was reported by the Transnistrian television channel TSV, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The Tiraspol plant "Moldavizolit" (production of foil circuit boards and other materials) and the Bendery "Potential" (production of electrical equipment) have already gone down. Tiraspol Elektromash (production of electric motors and generators) is still working, but only to the warehouse; it cannot export any of its products.
As TSV reports, enterprises have begun to outflow highly specialized specialists. 13 machine operators left Potential alone. It is not possible to find a replacement for them.
There are no grounds for delaying cargo, official Tiraspol says. Moldovan authorities refer to a 2002 decree, according to which some goods can be recognized as “dual-use goods” and “used for the military industry.” But since 2002, there have been no claims against Transnistrian enterprises.
Several meetings of expert groups took place with representatives of Tiraspol and Chisinau, but the situation did not change, TSV reports.
