Vadim Krasnoselsky, the PMR President:
As you know the situation in the process of regulating relations between Moldova and Pridnestrovie has steadily degraded throughout the outgoing 2021. The Moldovan side continued to ignore the fulfillment of previously assumed international obligations within the framework of the Berlin Plus package, and initiated additional measures to restrict the movement of Pridnestrovian cars in addition to the previously applied methods of politically motivated criminal prosecution of PMR citizens and forms of pressure in economic, banking and financial, logistics and other areas. It was Chisinau who demanded from the international mediators to cancel the “5 + 2” meeting of the “Permanent Conference” scheduled for November, and then completely stopped participating in the dialogue with Pridnestrovie after the dismissal of its political representative.
I as President of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic in such a destructive situation made every possible effort to return the dialogue to normal and prevent an escalation of tension. From November 2020 to December 2021, I sent a series of direct official appeals to the President of Moldova, literally each of them contained a call to intensify our bilateral dialogue at the highest political level for an early settlement of the entire range of accumulated problems. Appeals similar in content were sent by the chairmen of the Government and the Supreme Council of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic to their Moldovan colleagues. However, all the appeals of the Pridnestrovian side remain unanswered until now.
On the eve of the outgoing year I made another attempt to call on the leadership of the neighboring state to resume a direct, mutually respectful and maximally substantive dialogue in the near future in order to resolve the huge complex of accumulated problems as soon as possible and prevent the emergence of new ones. I consider it necessary in these circumstances to publish my next letter to the President of Moldova.
