Comment by PMR Foreign Ministry

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pridnestrovie took note of the accusatory remarks made by the President of neighboring Moldova, which lack any factual basis.
It is evident that the pre-election context is quite challenging for the authorities of the Republic of Moldova, which explains their increased focus on electoral propaganda.
We deem it necessary to clarify that Pridnestrovie is not involved in any “hybrid” forms of influence on the elections in the neighboring republic. Manipulating public opinion or inciting further tensions between Moldova and Pridnestrovie based on dubious political interests cannot be justified.
Citizens of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic who hold dual citizenship with the Republic of Moldova are free to independently decide how to exercise their legitimate right to vote.
Methods of intimidation, restrictions, and the artificial escalation of negativity are not applicable in truly free and democratic processes.
