Activity of the President on March 10–23, 2003

During the said period, President Vladimir Voronin had a meeting with PACE raporteurs on Moldova, Josette Durrieu and Lauri Vahtre. President Voronin reiterated Moldova’s commitment to comply with the previously assumed engagements, i.e. modification of the Electoral Code, of the laws on audiovisual public institution and local public administration, as well as cooperating with opposition parties within the framework of the Permanent Round Table. Vladimir Voronin also stated he would recommend the Communist Party to designated representatives of other parties to the PRT. Finally, President briefed the raporteurs that a plan, entitled “Unity through diversity”, was developed for Moldova to more efficiently serve on the CE Ministerial Council.

The President also met with special representative of the CE Secretary General, Jorgen Grunnet. At issue was the presidency of the CE Ministerial Council, reorganization of the Permanent Round Table, etc. Vladimir Voronin indicated he was open to cooperate with any political party, however he would accept proposals on revising the statehood, independence or sovereignty of the Republic of Moldova.

In the said period, President Vladimir Voronin appealed to residents of Transdnistria. The appeal reads that the initiative to consolidate the statehood and reintegrate the Republic of Moldova would succeed only if both the citizens residing to the right of Dniester and Transdnistria residents sincerely and responsively joined their efforts. The President reiterated the importance of working out a new Constitution of the reintegrated Moldova, addressing the previous mistakes and building on the “lessons learned”. Vladimir Voronin also guaranteed that reintegration did not mean “conquering” territories to the left of Dniester and that “any attempt to misstate the goals and meaning of country reintegration, any attempt to use the country reintegration as pretext for autocratic actions or revenge will be severely punished”.
