Decree

• Following Supreme Security Council decision, President signed Decree no. 2042-III on ousting Defence Minister, Victor Gaiciuc. The move comes as a result of the scandal involving the disappearance of munitions: 200 grenades F-1; 31 grenade mortar; 90,000 munitions.

• Another presidential decree, no. 2044-III on declaring 2005 the year of local communities of the Republic of Moldova.

Meetings

On October 28, President Voronin had a meeting with American Ambassador to Moldova, Heather Hodges, and talked Stability and Security Pact for the Republic of Moldova (SSPRM). American Ambassador stated that both US and EU saw the Pact as “a potential mechanism for consolidating regional security” that is why they supported the initiative to sign SSPRM in early December during the OSCE Summit in Sofia. Heather Hodges opted for including OSCE among the signatories of the Declaration, whereas US and EU to act as observers in the process of settling Transdnistrian conflict.

Noteworthy, the idea of SSPRM was launched by President Vladimir Voronin on June 1, 2004 and was to serve as a compromise that “might be reached as a result of a political conference gathering Heads of Foreign Policy Departments from Russia, US, Romania, Ukraine and EU and them signing a Stability and Security Pact for the Republic of Moldova. This document having the status of an international law document, would be an efficient system of long-term guarantees for the entire Moldovan state, would open new unique approaches as regards developing democratic institutions, ensuring civic concord in the country and resolution of Transdnistrian conflict as soon as possible”.

That issue was the subject of a telephone conversation the same day between President Voronin and Javier Solana, High Representative of EU for the Common Foreign and Security Policy.
