Russia calls on Moldova to abolish the Law \u201cOn the Main Provisions of a Special Legal Status of the Populated Areas on the Left Nistru Bank\u201d issued in 2005.<\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Ministry said in a press release that only after this move the government is willing to negotiate the political status of the Transnistrian region.<\/p>\n

Russia acts as a mediator in the \u201c5+2\u201d talks, which is the official conflict settlement mechanism.<\/p>\n

The statements emerged after Moldovan Deputy Minister for Transnistrian conflict Eugen Carpov spoke frankly in a talk show at UNIMEDIA news platform about ways to deal with the conflict, adding that the European Union and the United States should become mediators in this conflict.<\/p>\n

EU and the US are currently observers in the \u201c5+2\u201d conflict resolution format. However, Russia does not want the two parties to become direct mediators of this conflict.<\/p>\n

Authorities in Moscow seem to be affected by the comments, saying that the \u201cit is not an accepted practice in international relations to disclose the positions of participants in multi-sided talks in such a detail.
