Sandu: There Are No Risks of Hostilities Restarting in Transdniestria

President-elect Maia Sandu said she saw no reason to talk about hostilities resumption in Transdniestria. In an interview with Radio Liberty, she said that “there are no such risks,” infotag.md reported. “I repeat, we are looking for a peaceful solution, this is very important for us. We will continue to look for a solution to the conflict in the 5 + 2 format. Probably the most important lesson for us is that we need to work on finding a political solution. The format has found a solution to a number of important issues, but the political one is not among them. This is one of the things we will work on, "Sandu stressed. She also touched upon the issue of Gagauzia, where the incumbent President Igor Dodon received the majority of votes in the presidential elections. “We have some successes in this matter, but we still need to work hard. This evidence the election results. There were a lot of fake news by means of which they tried to scare people, especially in Gagauzia. This was done by my opponent Igor Dodon. Unfortunately, we still have television that operates on such “news.” These are television channels that are financed from the “black” money of corrupt politicians. We need to fight fakes, we need to reach people, talk to them, explain that we want the same both for Moldovans in the north, and for those who live in Gagauzia, in the center of the country, " Sandu said. She intends to strive "so that people are not robbed, regardless of what language they speak." “We need to explain to people better than it has been possible so far that we want to build a functional state so that everyone in the country feels good. There are as well more specific things to do: we need to work on the division of powers between the autonomy and the central government in the Republic of Moldova. We know that this issue does exist and we will work on it so that everything is clear, so that everyone feels good in these conditions," Sandu emphasized.
