Staff policy
President Voronin has attended the sitting of the Interior Ministry, outlining the accomplishments related to holding of organised criminal groups and reduction of crime rate in general. Also, the chief of state expressed dissatisfaction with the staff policy of the Interior Ministry, underling that shortcomings in this sector result with growth of crime rate among policemen, misuse of authority and corruption.
The illegal activity of police is manifested through misuse of authority, torture, inhuman and degrading treatments against held people. According to Voronin, the situation in this sector cannot be tolerated anymore, while the Interior Ministry administration is told to take urgent measures.
The improvement of legislation, in particular, of the law on police, whose provisions are old and run counter international principles that regulate the activity of law enforcement bodies is one of immediate priorities.
Talks with State Duma representatives
Vladimir Voronin received members of the group of lawmakers for relations with the Moldovan parliament of the Russian State Duma. The Moldovan president expressed optimism that the visit will contribute to a better information of state structures of the Russian Federation over political, social-economic situation in our country, strategic development tasks of Moldova.
According to Voronin, the failure to settle the Transnistrian crisis is the only serious obstacle on way of use of potential of Moldovan-Russian cooperation, while destructive forces from the Russian Federation and Moldova, pretentions of the Tiraspol regime which lack ethnic or juridical justifications are interested in perpetuation of this barrier.
To mention that President Vladimir Voronin said in an interview with the radio channel BBC that the Moldovan authorities are ready to get through the economic and political pressures of the Russian Federation, giving up energy resources from Russia and exports of Moldovan wines to this country, if needed.
Speeding up consolidation of agricultural fields
The chief of state told the sitting of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry that the period of implementation of the state land consolidation programme drafted by this ministry is too long. According to the concept, the land consolidation process will last at least 15 years, proposing the consolidation of fields owned by families first, followed by consolidation of fields of agricultural farms.
Independent experts came with different opinions in this regard, supporting the consolidation process but with the condition that it will be followed by large investments in agriculture, training of experienced specialists and promotion of a state policy aimed to provide a real assistance to agricultural producers. In parallel, parliamentary opposition representatives criticized the agriculture policy of the government at the beginning of the autumn session of the parliament, describing the promotion of consolidation of agricultural fields at regional and local levels as harmful.
Working visit to the Baltics
The Moldovan president paid official visits to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia on September 26–29. He had meetings with presidents and speakers of the three Baltic States. The talks focused on bilateral cooperation, partnership in the European integration sector, settlement of the Transnistrian conflict, and cooperation with NATO within the Partnership for Peace Programme.
Under an agreement of foreign ministries, Moldova will open an embassy in Riga by late 2005, and our country intends to open diplomatic missions to all members of the European Union in perspective.
