The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky talked with a representative of the Nezavisimaya Gazeta Russian newspaper. “The fate of Pridnestrovie must be decided by the Pridnestrovian people,” was the leitmotif of the conversation. The journalist was interested in the state of affairs in the negotiation process. They talked about the prerequisites for a prolonged stagnation in the negotiations, the consequences of Moldova's failure to fulfill the agreements reached at the previous, more productive, stages of the dialogue, new challenges and threats as well as measures taken to resolve existing problems. The talk was about the upcoming meetings of the participants in the negotiation process in the "3 + 2" format in June this year and "5 + 2" format in the fall (Stockholm, Sweden).
