Sittings. Decisions. Statements
Interest for activity of Apele Moldovei Agency
Moldova’s president has convoked governmental decision makers at a working sitting to discuss the water and sewerage providing services for localities, enlargement of irrigated fields. He was told that the reorganisation of Apele Moldova (Moldova’s Waters) Agency is over; agency director Veaceslav Iordan noted that the newly-created structure is ready to launch projects on renovation and extension of existing systems or construction of new water pipes, in line with the strategy on nationwide water and sewerage providing of localities. Vladimir Voronin stressed the need to accurately respect the quality standards while modernising and exploiting the water providing and sewerage networks. Speaking about irrigation of farm land, Voronin indicated the opportunity of districts to work out own programmes on enlargement of irrigated fields and the necessity to find additional finances for irrigation projects within diverse investment programmes.
New ideas and proposals on settlement of the Transdnistrian conflict[2]
Moldova’s president has launched many proposals on settlement of the Transdnistrian problem in mass media in the past two weeks. In particular, they call for:
- The maximal reduction of peacekeeping forces in the region and of border guard stations at the so-called border between the Republic of Moldova and Transdnistria.
- The restoration of the international route Leuseni-Chisinau-Dubasari with a way out to Ukraine and its transformation into a modern European corridor;
- The opening of the bridge over the Dniester River in Gura-Bacului;
- The creation of a joint TV station uncontrolled by Chisinau and Tiraspol authorities but monitored by civil society;
- The accreditation of the Transdnistria-based university at the Moldovan Ministry of Education;
- The dissolution of Moldovan and Transdnistrian armies and their substitution with military training centres.
Certain national and international observers welcomed the presidential initiatives, but the Tiraspol administration received them with scepticism.
Political-diplomatic meetings
The Moldovan president has had meetings with representatives of other countries and international organisations, including:
- European Commission Vice President Franco Frattini, European commissioner for justice, freedom and security. Frattini handed in to the Moldovan president the European Union-Moldova facilitated visa application and readmission agreements, which were recently signed in Brussels;
- Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon and Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the Summit of CIS leaders in Dushanbe, Tajikistan;
- Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Miguel Angel Moratinos, OSCE chairman-in-office;
- Israeli Deputy Premier Avigdor Lieberman, minister for strategic affairs.
