Pridnestrovie initiated discussion of issues related to the implementation of the Protocol on Cooperation between Pridnestrovie and the Republic of Moldova in Fishery Management and Rational Use of Dniester Aquatic Biological Resources dated June 15, 2016.
The Foreign Ministry hosted a meeting of PMR Foreign Minister Vitaly Ignatiev with Doris El Doueihy, Head of ICRC Delegation in the Republic of Moldova.
Welcoming the guests, Vitaly Ignatiev underlined the systematic nature of cooperation with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). According to him, the Pridnestrovian side appreciates current activities of the Committee in Pridnestrovie, while looking forward to further cooperation.
The agenda included issues raised by the Pridnestrovian side concerning the inadmissibility of restricting the supply of medicines to Pridnestrovie, including public contract procurements for healthcare facilities, as well as parapharmaceuticals (biologically active supplements). The participants emphasized the need to maintain working interaction when importing medicines to Pridnestrovie, as well as the expansion of the nomenclature of available supplies to pharmacy networks.
On November 19, 2024, OSCE Mission Office in Bendery hosted a meeting between the chief negotiators Vitaly Ignatiev and Oleg Serebrian, with mediators and observers in the negotiation process in attendance.
On November 19, 2024, Political Representatives from Pridnestrovie and the Republic of Moldova will meet at the OSCE Mission Office in Bendery by mutual agreement.
The agenda of the meeting includes a wide range of trade, economic, and banking issues, operation of Vehicle Registration Offices in Tiraspol and Rybnitsa, violations by Chisinau of human rights in Pridnestrovie, as well as the Pridnestrovian initiative to sign a Declaration on Peaceful Approaches to Settlement between Pridnestrovie and Moldova.
Today, about five tons of waste low-current sources were removed outside Pridnestrovie for subsequent disposal from the temporary storage warehouse of MUP Spetzavtokhozyaystvo (Special Vehicle Agency) in Tiraspol.
For several years now, the batteries have been collecting from the population by the relevant agencies and EcoPMR Public Ecological Volunteer Movement.
Notably, Pridnestrovie lacks any designated enterprises dealing with the disposal of used batteries. Moreover, used low-current sources bear grave environmental and population health risks.
