The PMR President mentioned the initiative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Osmani to bring together the negotiation process participants and noted that the Pridnestrovian side is ready for an equal dialogue at any venue. Vadim Krasnoselsky also referred to the statements by some Moldovan politicians claiming that the negotiating tactics of small steps is outdated and that activity of expert (working) groups is rather an imitation than real work.
