The delegation of members of the press tour arrived in Pridnestrovie includes journalists, experts, analysts, bloggers, and representatives of media centers.

Welcoming the journalists Nina Shtanski emphasized that the participants of the press tour arrived in Pridnestrovie during the celebration of the anniversary of the republic. “The 25th birthday - it's a great age for us. In recent days I hear in various television programmes on the Russian federal TV channels that “the small republic celebrates its small anniversary.” I can responsibly tell you - this is an immense anniversary, hard-fought, which I think we are going to celebrate the whole year. 25 years - this is the life-long era for peers of Pridnestrovie,” - said the Minister.

The foreign guests thanked the Foreign Minister for the warm reception and noted that they had received a huge amount of emotion from visiting Pridnestrovie.
