According to the press service of the MFAEI, he also pointed out “the need to transform the existing peacekeeping mechanism in the Transnistrian region into a civilian multinational mission with an appropriate international mandate.”
Kiver underreiterated the Republic of Moldova’s intention to participate in the modernization of the 2011 Vienna Document on Confidence and Security Building Measures to increase transparency in the military field and security in the OSCE space.
Speaking about the Transnistrian settlement, the deputy minister spoke about its stagnation, and also noted the fact that “the administration of Tiraspol and the Russian Federation refuse to start a political dialogue on security.”
According to the diplomat, negotiations in the “5+2” format to resolve the conflict should be guided by the principles of “sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova when granting special status to Pridnestrovie.” The representative of the MFAEI of Moldova noted the importance of showing political will and coordinated actions of international participants in the Transnistrian settlement.
