Moldovan Premier Pavel Filip said at the Security Forum in Kiev that Moldova and Ukraine could agree to grant a "green corridor" for the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers
Vital Ignatyev discussed the current agenda of the negotiation process with Russia's deputy foreign minister and the special representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
It will be based on the unique feat of Russian peacekeepers on the banks of the Dniester and the unprecedented will of the Pridnestrovian people to preserve peace
This is what Vadim Krasnoselsky said in an interview with Russia's Nezavisimaya Gazeta, underscoring that Russian peacekeepers were "the only deterrent force that excludes conflicts in the region"
The Moldo-Pridnstrovian settlement should not be allowed to become another object of geopolitical games fraught with the most unpredictable consequences, said Russia's deputy foreign minister
"Russia is a guarantor in the '5+2' negotiating process and, in fact, could represent the interests of Pridnestrovie in the UN," the president told Russia's Parliamentary Gazette
According to Vitaly Ignatyev, if Moldova wanted to improve its relationship with Pridnestrovie, the best way to do that would be "specific, practical work at each level of the negotiating process aimed at improving the lives of people" rather than undermining the peacekeeping operation
