Konstantin Zatulin, "The matter of necessity for the Moldovan state is in finding a formula of relations with Pridnestrovie"

Co-chairman of the Joint Control Commission for the Management of Peacekeeping Forces in the Security Zone Oleg Belyakov noted that during 25 years of the Russian peacekeeping mission in Pridnestrovie the whole generation that does not know the war has grown on this territory. Today the Moldovan government is trying in every possible way to discredit the Russian mission in order to expand the OSCE mission. This is what, according to Pridnestrovian parliamentarian, explains the expulsion of five Russian diplomats who are members of the Joint Control Commission.

First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Education and Science Gennady Onishchenko believes that mutual recognition of documents by the parties in the sphere of education, communication, sanitary control will open markets and will help improve the economic situation.

Executive Secretary of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova Vlad Batrynch said that the majority of the Moldovan population opposes the hegemony of the West and for strategic relations with Russia.

Artem Turov is convinced that the actions of the Moldovan government create additional tension in the region.

First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin is sure that much in the settlement process will depend on the actions of Chisinau. If the process fails, the very existence of Moldova is in ambiguo.

Participants in the discussion spoke in favor of continuing the dialogue and recreating the atmosphere of trust between the parties. They appealed to the Ukrainian and Moldovan authorities, as well as to the OSCE with an appeal to intensify the negotiation process in the "5 + 2" format to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe in Pridnestrovie.
