In addition, OSCE PA members recognize that the conflict in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova continues to pose a serious threat to security and stability in the OSCE area. Due to the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine, negotiations in the 5+2 format have been suspended. The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly reaffirms its commitment to achieving a peaceful, comprehensive, and sustainable solution to this protracted conflict, with full respect for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within its internationally recognized borders.
“Moreover, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly calls on the Russian Federation to withdraw its military troops and ammunition stockpiles from the territory of the Republic of Moldova, in accordance with the constitutional provisions of neutrality and with the relevant decisions of the OSCE made in 1999 at the Istanbul Summit, as well as with the United Nations General Assembly resolution 72/282,” highlighted Promo-Lex.
The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly emphasizes that the primary goal of the Transnistrian conflict settlement process is to achieve a comprehensive, peaceful, and lasting solution based on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova within its internationally recognized borders, with a special status for the Transnistrian region. The resolution underscores the urgent need for dialogue and cooperation among all stakeholders to achieve a peaceful resolution to the Transnistrian conflict and restore stability in the region.
