Christopher Smith’s visit to Tiraspol has nothing to do with the meeting of the so-called deputies from the region. The statement was made by the Government of Moldova.
Government spokesman Daniel Voda said at a news conference that the meeting was planned. According to him, including 5+2 participants, their trips to Tiraspol are nothing new.
“The mentioned visit was scheduled in advance and was not associated with the event you describe,” commented Daniel Voda when he was asked by journalists.
