Welcoming Oleg Vasnetsov, Vadim Krasnoselsky thanked him for participating in the work of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs of the PMR on the results of activities in 2018.
The main issues related to the working meeting of the President with the Ambassador are the current work in the negotiation process between Pridnestrovie and the Republic of Moldova, implementation of the reached agreements, as well as the prospects for signing protocol decisions on the most pressing issues in relations between the parties. Vadim Krasnoselsky emphasized that the foreign ministry of the republic promotes a serious amount of work on the implementation of the agreements reached in Pridnestrovian legislation and their practical implementation in the interests of citizens. At the same time, there remain unresolved issues of closing politically motivated criminal cases initiated in Moldova against citizens of Pridnestrovie as well as the resumption of full-fledged freight railway communication through the territory of Pridnestrovie.
Oleg Vasnetsov, in turn, noted that Russia as a guarantor of the negotiation process was fully informed about the current state of affairs. “We are holding consultations with our colleagues in the 5 + 2 format with the OSCE representatives in Chisinau. There is a feeling that these issues concern not only Pridnestrovie and Russia, but also other participants of the Pridnestrovian settlement”, the Russian diplomat stated.
In the continuation of the meeting, Vadim Krasnoselsky and Oleg Vasnetsov discussed the prospects for the development of trade and economic relations between Russia and Pridnestrovie, the work of the exit consular service point of the Embassy of the Russian Federation and other issues on the bilateral agenda.
