According to the adopted amendments, the benefits to pay for public services and benefits for travel to pensioners who are citizens of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, receiving a retirement pension in a foreign country and having executed a long registration on the territory of Pridnestrovie.

However, after the entry into force of these amendments to relevant parliamentary committees, personally Galina Antyufeeva began to receive complaints of citizens, indignant violation of the principle of equality before the law for all citizens of PMR. Beyond the state support were Pridnestrovians who permanently reside in the country, but receiving a pension in a foreign country.
