On July 26, 2018, the OSCE Mission office in Kishinev hosted a meeting of expert (working) groups on combating crime from Pridnestrovie and the Republic of Moldova.
The parties focused on discussing current issues related to pressing issues of interaction between the internal affairs bodies of the parties. Special attention was paid to the problem of ending the politically motivated criminal prosecution of Pridnestrovian residents by Moldovan law enforcement structures, including implementation of the provisions of the Vienna and Rome Protocols in this sphere. The Moldovan side confirmed its earlier commitments to close criminal cases that were initiated in the context of the issue of land use in the Dubossary district.
