The OSCE will continue to work on “a comprehensive settlement of the conflict based on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within its internationally recognised borders with the special status of Transnistria within Moldova,” the Maltese Foreign Ministry said.
It is noted that the visit will be aimed at “strengthening confidence and stability between the parties in the interests of all people living on both banks of the Dniester.”
On March 2, Moldovan President Maia Sandu said that the country’s accession to the European Union (EU) could be a historic chance to unite the two banks of the Dniester. According to Sandu, the current authorities promise not to allow such conflicts to recur “even if there are forces which are trying to create discord between us.”
