The Foreign Minister stressed that Pridnestrovie received with great sorrow the news about the numerous human losses and the terrible devastation caused by the natural calamity.
We view the adoption by the Moldovan Parliament of a bill that creates grounds for politically motivated criminal prosecution of virtually every resident of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic as an act of aggression aimed at undermining the negotiation process and as a deliberate prologue to massive human rights violations.
