Pridnestrovian and Moldovan experts in the field of education met in the office of the OSCE Mission in Kishinev at the initiative of the Pridnestrovian side today, on April 20, 2016.
It should be reminded that the Pridnestrovian side insisted on holding a meeting of expert (working) groups on education since August 2015, but the Moldovan side repeatedly postponed the organization of the meeting for the internal political reasons that led to a significant slowdown in the process of elaboration of decisions in that area.
The Foreign Ministry opened a photo exhibition “The war touched my family”. The event is dedicated to the 71st anniversary of the Great Victory. The opening ceremony was attended by Deputy Foreign Minister of the PMR Igor Shornikov, Chief Editor of the “Gomin” newspaper Aleksandr Yushin, Chief Editor of the “Adevarul Nistryan” newspaper Sergei Sandu, as well as public representatives of Pridnestrovie.
PMR President Yevgeny Shevchuk received a member of the German Bundestag. Fritz Felgentreu arrived in Pridnestrovie with a study visit. The main goal is to learn firsthand about the country, the political system, the situation in the economy and the social sphere. The meeting was attended by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Germany to Moldova Ulrike Maria Knotz and Director of the German-Moldovan Forum Julia Moser, from the Pridnestrovian side - acting Foreign Minister Vitaly Ignatiev.
The PMR Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent an official appeal to Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Romania to the RM Marius Lazurca on April 20, 2016 in connection with the confirmation of the fact that the Pridnestrovian airspace was violated by a Romanian aircraft.
Thus, as far as we know, the aircraft taking off from the city of Iasi, intruded illegally into the airspace of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic sixteen times on April 17, 2016, while taking aerial photography of the Pridnestrovian territory.
Vitaly Ignatiev reported to the president on the results of the visit to the Russian capital. The head of the Foreign Ministry of the republic made an official working visit to Moscow. Thus, a number of meetings were held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Administration of the Russian President and the Russian Government.
