The United States of America believe that Transnistria is a conflict that can be solved by offering it a special status within Moldova. The statement was made by the U.S. Ambassador to Moldova, William H. Moser in an interview with Moldova’s Timpul newspaper.<\/p>\n

“USA sees this conflict a solvable one. Looking at the joint agreement of the international actors, we are confident that Transnistria should have a special status in the framework of the independent territory of Moldova,” William H. Moser said.
\nHe assured that, although it is going to be difficult and is going to take a while to settle this conflict, the Ambassador is confident that it is an achievable goal.<\/p>\n

“I keep telling the Moldovans to be more hopeful concerning the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict,” the U.S. Ambassador to Moldova said. “We have to take it step by step for a better future.”<\/p>\n

Transnistria is an internationally unrecognized entity proclaimed in Tiraspol on September 2, 1990, initially styled the Moldavian Transnistrian Soviet Socialist Republic. Currently known as the Moldavian Transnistrian Republic, this breakaway entity consists of a narrow strip of land (180 km by 32 km) nestled between the east bank of the Nistru River and the border of Moldova with Ukraine, on a small part of what used to be, between 1924 and 1940, the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.<\/p>\n

In 1992 escalated a conflict between Moldova and Russia over this territory. A cease-fire was signed the same year by president of Russia Boris Yeltsin and president of Moldova Mircea Snegur. An agreement to withdraw all Russian forces from the trans-Nistrian districts of the Republic of Moldova was signed by Moldovan Prime Minister Andrei Sangheli and Russian Prime Minister Victor Chernomyrdin in 1994. It stipulated that the 14th Army was to leave the Republic of Moldova within three years, but the agreement was never ratified by the Duma, Russia’s legislature.<\/p>\n

The Transnistrian conflict settlement is made within the “5+2” format. It includes representatives of the sides, mediators and observers in the negotiation process – Moldova, Transnistria, Russia, Ukraine and the OSCE (as mediators), and the US and the EU (as observers). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
