Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin appeared live on the NIT television channel Saturday night to present his views on the latest developments in and around Moldova. <\/p>\n

First and foremost, the head of state highlighted the achievement of a long-waited consensus between main political forces in the country, calling it the Moldovan society’s “very valuable gain that should be highly valued”, and stressing that the political consensus has an essential impact on such fundamental problems as European integration and Transnistrian conflict settlement. <\/p>\n

The Moldovan President emphasized that parliamentary elections in Transnistria can only be held upon region’s demilitarization and democratization. Voronin claimed he does not share the opinion that Chisinau should support some political force or forces at the elections’ which the Tiraspol administration is going to hold on December 11. <\/p>\n

“Presently, there are no conditions for holding democratic elections in Transnistria, and nobody to back”, he stated. <\/p>\n

Vladimir Voronin agreed that much depends on Russia in the Transnistrian conflict settlement work. <\/p>\n

“Many people are nowadays speaking about the Russian Plan of the Transnistrian settlement. But, officially, there exists no such document. The proposals being heard these days repeat the settlement plan proposed yet by Yevgeny Primakov [Russia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1997-1998]. This is the so-called theory of a common state. In the reality, nobody has any idea what it is”, said the President. <\/p>\n

He voiced hope that Moscow will at last receive objective information about Moldova after the recent visit paid to this republic by a high-ranked delegation headed by First Deputy Secretary of the Russian Federation’s Security Council Yury Zoubakov. <\/p>\n

“So far, I don’s know which results or conclusions Mr. Zoubakov’s delegation brought to Moscow, but I do hope that the former Russian Ambassador to Moldova [Zoubakov], who knows the situation here very well, will submit objective information to his leadership. So far, we have no idea what they think over there in Moscow”. <\/p>\n

Voronin voiced doubt that Russia will really increase the gas rate [up to the international level of $160 per a thousand cubic meters from the present-day $80] to create energy problems for Moldova. <\/p>\n

“I don’t think that serious Russian politicians can make such step. This can be offered only by those who have interests and make money in Transnistria”, stated the Moldovan President. <\/p>\n

He claimed journalists had torn out from the context a phrase in his interview – that Moldova is ready to get frozen without the Russian gas, but shall never yield its independence. <\/p>\n

“The journalists were prompt to comment: Voronin himself will never freeze. I can state now that if need be, I shall go and freeze together with all the rest”, stated the Moldovan President.  \/\/ Infotag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
