The European Union (E.U.) recognises the Sunday referendum in Transnistria "under no form", Pietro Petrucci, a spokesman for the European Commission, was quoted as saying by AFP on Monday. <\/p>\n

He said that "the E.U. can recognise the referendum and its results under no form." He recalled that neither the E.U., nor "any other country in the world" recognises Transnistria<\/font> at present. <\/p>\n

Deputy Premier Andrei Stratan, minister of foreign affairs and European integration, delivered Monday a similar statement to Chisinau journalists. He said that "Chisinau does not recognise the results of this referendum, while yesterday will not change anything. The so-called referendum is a political farce of Smirnov." He recalled that the Moldovan authorities call for a democratisation of the Transnistrian region, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration will promote the country reintegration policy in continuation. <\/p>\n

In turn, Ukrainian Premier Viktor Yanucovich told journalists that granting autonomy to the Transnistrian region inside of Moldova is the only appropriate solution to the conflict. He called for a separation of competences within a unitary state. Although he recalled that the Sunday referendum is not officially recognised, Yanucovich opted for the tackling of this topic "with respect". At the same time, the Ukrainian premier fears that the referendum tensions the situation. \"\"<\/p>\n

Russia did not officially react so far to the results of the referendum, at which most of Transnistrian residents called for the independence of the breakaway region of Moldova and joining to the Russian Federation. At the same time, the first deputy chairwoman of the State Duma, Lyubovi Sliska, said that the referendum must be treated with all seriousness. She noted that the situation should not be commented, while "Moscow will not receive an official notification from Tiraspol regarding the results of the referendum." However, the Russian official claims that "Transnistria cannot join Moldova<\/font> for sure." <\/p>\n

According to Tiraspol’s data, 97.1 percent of electors voted for Transnistria’s integration into the Russian Federation<\/font> at the September 17 unconstitutional referendum.
