The PMR President announced Message to public and administrative authorities on January 22. The tasks announced during the online conference must be completed within 2024.

The PMR Supreme Council Chairman Alexander Korshunov and the heads of parliamentary committees and commissions took part in the videoconference. According to the website of the President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, not only leaders, but also teams of government agencies, ministries, departments, services, and the media listened to the President online.  Vadim Krasnoselsky briefly summed up the results of the past year before starting to outline the main directions of upcoming activities. He spoke about the fact that the country lived through 2023 under conditions of external economic and political pressure, strengthening of blockade measures on the part of Moldova, about problems with the export of products and the import of socially significant goods, about the continuing relevance of the banking sector and the simple “5+2” format. The President recalled that this is not the first time that Moldova takes advantage of difficult external circumstances, aggravating the situation of the Pridnestrovians.

Vadim Krasnoselsky said that 2023 was dedicated to agriculture, rural areas and rural tourism in Pridnestrovie, and the new year was dedicated to family and family values. He focused on the fact that social obligations were fulfilled by the state fully and in a timely manner.

Vadim Krasnoselsky recalled that the life of the republic is organized in accordance with the provisions of the Development Strategy of Pridnestrovie until 2026. The country will adhere to the course prescribed in it in the coming year. The main principles and goals that Pridnestrovie strives to achieve: political stability, economic self-sufficiency, social justice. Blocks of departmental tasks are traditionally collected under these headings. Regional policies and recommendations to the legislative body are usually singled out by the President.

1. To prepare a unified system of remuneration for employees of the public sector of the PMR and the ratio of official salaries, while maintaining parity in government positions, taking into account the importance of the duties performed by officials both horizontally and vertically as well as the multifunctionality and versatility of government bodies together with the Government of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, based on the analysis carried out by the Government of the pilot project being implemented, aimed at increasing wages (salary, monetary allowance) of workers (employees) through reorganization (organizational and staffing) measures, prepare proposals for improving the legislation on wages, observing the principles of equality and hierarchy of positions of public authorities and management. To systematize, but not to harm. This is what we're talking about.

2. To complete the work on developing a new Criminal Procedure Code of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of State Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Investigative Committee, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Supreme Court of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.

3. To provide together with the Government of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, when forming the Republican budget for 2025, for the financing of expenses aimed at implementing measures for the repair and restoration of objects of the state reclamation system in volumes comparable to or exceeding the amount of funds received from the payment of a targeted fee to support the reclamation complex, from other (additional) sources of financing budget expenditures. We are talking about mastering sources of financing and continuing work. For example, if they set a goal of 40 thousand hectares for irrigation this year, then this figure should increase in 2025.

Returning to the issue of irrigation, let me remind you that 62 thousand hectares of land in general were irrigated on the territory of Pridnestrovie under Soviet rule during the Moldavian SSR. Today there are 33 thousand hectares. This year we are setting the target at 40 thousand hectares. We are moving at a good pace, considering that by the beginning of 2017 there were just over 8 thousand hectares under irrigation. Everything is within our power, moreover, using new irrigation technologies. 40 thousand hectares will be no worse in efficiency than 60 thousand hectares under Soviet rule. There are perspectives for growth. There is not enough land, so it is impossible to do without technology.

4. To work out together with the Government of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic the issue of increasing wages for public sector employees and pensions.

5. To carry out together with the Government of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic the work on the normative regulation of the procedure and rules for land turnover, taking into account the existing state, municipal, private and other forms of ownership in the republic. This task was set for the Government.

Some tasks and assignments are of a related nature.

The leadership and deputies of the PMR Supreme Council will have to work together with other authorities on the following points:

- with together the PMR Foreign Ministry: to intensify work on obtaining Russian citizenship by young people and those who were born after the collapse of the USSR;

This is a question of control, the President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic noted.
