The President of Moldova supported Russian peacekeepers in Transnistria

“This is not the first time that this composition of the Constitutional Court bows to the unionists. It is clear that the judges of the Constitutional Court wanted to comply with the letter of the Constitution, but also not to compromise their Romanian citizenship,” Dodon wrote on Facebook.
He emphasized that he understood the message, which forces him to act even more decisively to protect the neutrality and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova.
“The composition of the Constitutional Court will change, but the country will remain, and what the judges of the Constitutional Court put as a question mark will always be preserved,” Dodon wrote.
The Liberal Party of Moldova filed a lawsuit demanding that the presence of the Russian military in Transnistria be declared illegal in 2015.
At the moment, there are more than 1,5 thousand Russian military personnel on the territory of Transnistria. Russian peacekeepers were introduced into the Transnistrian conflict zone under the agreement signed with Moldova “On the principles of the peaceful resolution of the armed conflict in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova” dated July 21, 1992. They maintain peace in the separating Security Zone together with the “blue helmets” of Moldova and Transnistria.
