“A comprehensive settlement formula is intended to be searched by the multilateral international mechanism specially created for this purpose”, - she said on her Facebook page.
The former political representative of Pridnestrovie Nina Shevchuk on her Facebook page commented on the declaration related to the Moldovan-Pridnestrovian settlement, which was adopted as a result of 22 Ministerial Council in Belgrade.
Nina Shevchuk drew attention to the fact that the similar document has been adopted in this format from one year to the next “with very few new amendments” and noted that a comprehensive settlement formula is intended to be searched by the multilateral international mechanism specially created for this purpose, “namely the Permanent Conference on Political Issues in the Framework of the Pridnestrovian Settlement Negotiation Process functioning in the “5+2” format. The task of the participants in this format (Pridnestrovie, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine, OSCE, the EU and the USA) is to seek the very formula of the settlement, which would be viable” – wrote the first lady of Pridnestrovie in the social network.
“I emphasize that the mechanism prescribes the joint search for this formula. The format also has the rules, officially agreed by all participants and signed in 2012 (by all except for the observers – the EU and the United States – they have less powers). These rules do not imply unilateral decisions implemented. Beyond this format, anyone and as much as one wishes can express their views on how the conflict should be settled, but in fact this affects the settlement process almost to the same degree as the weather in Belgrade during the OSCE Ministerial Council affects the balance of geopolitical forces in the world” – noted Nina Shevchuk.
She also reminded that Pridnestrovie is not an OSCE member and did not participate in the negotiation and approval of the Belgrade document. “Therefore, it does not contain any obligations for the Pridnestrovian side. Yes, in general, if one reads carefully, it does not have obligations for anyone” – stated the former political representative of Pridnestrovie.
In conclusion Nina Shevchuk noted that such “near-Pridnestrovian news from the Belgrade OSCE Ministerial Council is that there is nothing new about it”.
