In his discourse with the journalists, Sergey Gubarev gave positive assessment to the course of economic and administrative transformations towards economic capacity building of Pridnestrovie. According to the Russian diplomat, the time is ripe for carrying out radical economic reforms which will eventually allow solution also of political issues. “I like the course carried out by Yevgeny Vasilievich very much.
