Russia likely to recognise the independence of Transnistria

The chairman of the Russian State Duma’s commission for relations with CIS member states and co-nationals, Aleksey Ostrovsky, has stated in an interview with the Russian media that the Russian Federation could recognise the independence of Transnistria, should the new Moldovan leadership approach Romania so close that to run the risk to be “assimilated” by Bucharest. Representatives of the Coalition for European Integration denied any plans to unite the Republic of Moldova with Romania, with changing Moldova’s statehood being a decision which could be made through a referendum alone.

Transnistria expects the new leadership of Moldova to respect the Barvikha Declaration

The foreign minister of the self-proclaimed Moldovan Transnistrian Republic, Vladimir Yastrebchyak, has stated in an interview with the Russian agency InterfaxRU that “Transnistria hopes that the new leadership of Moldova would respect the agreements reached during negotiations,” citing the Barvikha Declaration signed by the presidents of Russia, Moldova and self-proclaimed Transnistrian Republic. Yastrebchyak assured that Transnistria is carefully monitoring the developments in Chisinau and stands ready for any political evolutions in Moldova. As well, he was circumspect over a shortly restart of the consultations between mediators and guarantors, given the “internal political instability in Moldova” and lack of a clear ruling structure in Chisinau.
