The new Prime Minister of Moldova, Alexander Munteanu, gave a special place in the government's program to "taking diplomatic and political measures to minimize the military risks associated with Transnistria."
The Cabinet under his leadership will continue to seek the transformation of the peacekeeping mission on the Dniester under the auspices of Russia into an international civilian observer mission.
"This item, included in the regulation of the Transnistrian conflict, appeared in previous government mandates, emphasizing the consistency of Chisinau's policy on demilitarization of the region," the Moldovan government stressed.
In his new program, Munteanu notes that he seeks to "maintain peace and stability on both banks of the Dniester," as well as to implement a reintegration policy that will allow "gradual rapprochement in the legal, economic, customs, tax, social, informational and political spheres."
The authors of the new government program do not detail the mechanism, but promise to intensify diplomatic and political efforts to minimize military risks associated with the left bank of the Dniester.
"Thanks to a consistent and people-oriented policy, we are committed to building trust, maintaining peace and stability, as well as providing residents of the left bank of the Dniester with access to high-quality public services and equal opportunities. At the same time, we will make sure that both citizens and companies of the Transnistrian region take advantage of Moldova's rapprochement with the European Union," the program, which the parliament will approve this week, says.
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Ozerov warned that the desire of the Chisinau authorities to unilaterally resolve the problem of the Transnistrian conflict could lead to escalation in the region.
"The withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from Transnistria is possible only if the conflict in the region is resolved peacefully. The presence of our peacekeeping contingent, of course, guarantees the non—resumption of hostilities," the diplomat stressed.
Recall that about 250 thousand Russian citizens live in Transnistria, whom Moscow promised to protect.
As EADaily reported, in the Military Strategy of Moldova 2025-2035, among the "risks and threats to national security" is the presence of the Russian military in the region, as well as the armed formations of Transnistria. Chisinau calls the complete demilitarization of the Left Bank as the main condition for a peaceful settlement of relations with Tiraspol.
