Meeting between political representatives of Pridnestrovie and Moldova Nina Shtanski and Yevgeny Karpov has been scheduled for March 14, 2013 (11 a.m.) at the OSCE Office in Tiraspol.
The meeting was initiated by the Pridnestrovian side. The relevant invitation has already been sent to the Moldovan side in February.
The meeting of political representatives will also involve members of Expert (Working) Groups on Issues of Highway Transportation. Parties intend to discuss the draft of the Protocol Decision “On Some Primary Measures to Provide Freedom of Movement for Population of Pridnestrovie and the Republic of Moldova”.
Agreement concerning further active dialogue between parties including issues on freedom of movement was reached in Lvov during the negotiating round within the Permanent Conference. It is presented in the summary of the Ukrainian OSCE Chairmanship. At the same time expert groups' discussion on the draft of the Protocol Decision has not been initiated since the last meeting in Lvov.
The meeting scheduled for March 14 should be the first discussion between political representatives of parties after the negotiating round in Lvov. The Foreign Ministry of Pridnestrovie expresses hope that the meeting of political representatives will gain new momentum to the expert cooperation.
