Kozak: It is Important to Maintain Fragile Peace in Transnistria

At the moment, Russia prefers not to discuss the Transnistrian settlement, announced Russian Deputy Prime Minister, special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the development of trade and economic relations with Moldova Dmitry Kozak during the Second Moldovan-Russian Economic Forum. “Undoubtedly the Transnistrian conflict needs to be settled. Russia once actively participated in this process. We proceed from the fact that currently, in the present context of cautious optimism, as Igor Dodon said, this topic should not be raised. It is sensitive and difficult. We neither initiate nor discuss it. The 5+2 format functions; it takes small steps to solve the mutual problems of the population of both banks of the Dniester. This is enough for the moment, this topic should be matured. If the question arises, the people of Transnistria and Moldova, the authorities will come up with specific proposals, we will provide mediatory services if it is needed. But today we do not touch on this topic in order to preserve this fragile peace, the fragile coalition in the Republic of Moldova existing today. This is much more important,”concluded Kozak .
