The Transnistrian Foreign Ministry wants to follow the example of Kosovo
Transnistria should try to solve its mobile phone problems the same way Kosovo did.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Transnistria Alexander Stetsyuk stated this on the TSV television channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If there is no solution in Chisinau, then international mechanisms come into force. I'm not talking about recognition now. But Kosovo has been unable to resolve the mobile communications problem with Serbia for years. Until they got tired of it, and Kosovo was not provided with a separate international telephone code,” Stetsyuk said.
For eight years after Kosovo's self-declaration, mobile users of the local operator Vala had Monaco numbers. In December 2016, the International Telecommunication Union allocated Kosovo its own code, but it is still not recognized by many international mobile operators.
Moldovan operators Orange and Moldcell must cede their frequencies to the Transnistrian mobile operator Interdnestrcom according to the law that the Moldovan parliament adopted a year ago. But they do not comply with the law, but require millions of investments. The law was adopted after Chisinau and Tiraspol agreed on the conditions for restoring direct telephone communication between the two banks of the Dniester. However, the connection has not yet been restored.
