Tiraspol responded to the OSCE’s cunning attempt to push the PMR into Moldova
The OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Slovakia Miroslav Lajcak believes that Pridnestrovie should be given a special status while maintaining the territorial integrity of Moldova.
He stated this today during negotiations with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Moldova Tudor Ulyanovsky, EADaily reports.
“Slovakia, as the country chairing the OSCE, will contribute to the Transnistrian settlement process on the basis of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within the internationally recognized borders of this state with a special status for the Transnistrian region,” Lajcak said.
Negotiations on the status of Transnistria will take place next week in Brussels. Diplomats agreed to activate them.
However, with regard to the “subject of negotiations,” the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic takes a different view of its future status. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the PMR recently stated in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda that the republic will achieve international recognition within 5-10 years.
“Pridnestrovie has almost impeccable political, legal and historical grounds for broad international recognition of independence. Pridnestrovie has shown its readiness to implement the will of the people; our independence is built on their expression of will. The understanding that Pridnestrovie has long been established as an independent subject of international relations, open, peace-loving, economically viable, appears among an increasing number of our international partners. And the next step from de facto recognition of reality should be de jure recognition of Pridnestrovie,” Ignatiev emphasized.
