"The draft has not yet been introduced into the parliament, but Moldovan politicians are already discussing it," the ministry's information and press department said.
The document was also handed over to mediators in the settlement, including a Russian representative.
"Without going into details of the draft, which is still said to be being amended, it is worth mentioning one essential point. The document is to be approved without consulting Transdnestr representatives, the second party in the conflict," the ministry said.
"This means that another ultimatum is being prepared, similar to the Moldovan parliament's recent documents demanding that the Transdnestr [region] be unilaterally disarmed, the current peacekeeping operation be phased out and Chisinau's jurisdiction be extended over the republic. As a point of fact, the Moldovan authorities are taking a harder line on Tiraspol than in the aftermath of the armed phase of the conflict," the foreign ministry said.
The ministry said the steps that Chisinau had taken and is going to take would send the Transdnestr problem further into deadlock, making it impossible to find a constructive solution through securing Moldova's territorial integrity and establishing the region's specific status.
"Threatening with force, sanctions or an embargo, as well as issuing ultimatums, always has a reverse effect," the ministry said.
The ministry said that only through talks would it be possible to reach a lasting and all-out compromise, which would be acceptable to both banks of the Dnestr River.
"And we are ready to make all possible efforts to attain such a compromise," the ministry said.
The Transdnestr armed conflict was unleashed in March 1992 after Chisinau proclaimed independence. Meanwhile, the Supreme Soviet of the Transdnestr region, an industrial Moldovan region on the left bank of the Dnestr that is home to a mainly Russian-speaking population, reacted declaring the establishment of the Transdnestr Moldovan Republic.
Hostilities went on in close vicinity to military units of the former 14th Soviet army, stationed in the area. At the request of the Moldovan president, the army's command decided to interfere and stop the bloodshed. Part of the army is still based in the region, protecting military supply depots.
On July 21, 1992, the Russian and Moldovan presidents, in the presence of the Transdnestr leader, signed a treaty on the principles of peaceful settlement of the conflict.
