On November 18th, the Prime-Minister of Moldova, Pavel Filip, and the leader of the separatist Transnistria, Vadim Krasnoselski, together\u00a0inaugurate the bridge over Nistru river that links Gura B\u00eecului and B\u00eecioc villages. The bridge is now\u00a0accessible only for traffic of light vehicles: the trucks will be reportedly allowed after one month when the experts evaluate the technical state of the construction in use.\u00a0The important bridge is located on the M14 international route and the 9th European corridor, which connects Chi\u0219in\u0103u and Odessa, Chi\u0219in\u0103u and Tiraspol in the shortest way.<\/p>\n

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the representatives of the 5+2 negotiation format: the head of the OSCE mission, the ambassador of the Russian Federation, the ambassador of Ukraine, the head of the EU Delegation, the US Ambassador and the Special Representative of the OSCE Austrian Chairmanship.<\/p>\n

\"\"Prime-Minister Filip underlined that the opening of this bridge is a step undertaken by the Government towards the realization of free movement of citizens, goods, and services between the two banks of Nistru:<\/p>\n

“Apart from being a symbol of linkage, being an achievement of ours towards the elimination of barriers in the way of free movement of transport and services, the opening of the bridge brings economic improvement too. The circulation of goods means infrastructure development too, means economic movement”<\/em>, says Filip.<\/p>\n

\"\"In his turn, the separatist president Krasnoselsky agreed that the bridge makes economic development possible due to its important location:<\/p>\n

“This bridge unites the left and right bank, united the economic logistics, this is a transportation major route, so its opening is very good”<\/em>, declared the leader of the so-called Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic.<\/p>\n

However, Krasnoselsky did not mention the principle of free movement of people and goods between the two banks. The Transnistrian authorities apparently already activated a customs control checkpoint in B\u00eecioc which will most probably obstruct the free movement. Krasnoselsky himself with his prime-minister Alexandr Martynov visited the checkpoint after the inauguration of the bridge:<\/p>\n
