Transnistria Issue Can Be Resolved Only Within 5+2 Format - Moldovan President

TIRASPOL (Sputnik) — Moldova could lift restrictions on imports of petroleum products to the self-proclaimed republic of Transnistria, the Foreign Ministry of Transnistria said in a press release on Wednesday, following a meeting of expert groups from Chisinau and Tiraspol for rail transport and communications.

"The Moldovan side said it would take internal organizational measures within a month to ensure the functioning of the border transit point Slobodka-Kolbasna in the interest of business entities, including for imports of oil products to Transnistria," the press release read.

Transnistria, a region with a predominantly ethnically Russian and Ukrainian population, is a self-proclaimed republic that seceded from the Soviet Republic of Moldova in 1990, fearing possible reunion with Romania. The separation led to a conflict known as "The Transnistria War" that ended in a ceasefire declared in July 1992, although the issue is still unresolved.

Since 2005, the talks on the conflict in Transnistria have been held in the 5+2 format, which, apart from Transnistria and Moldova, includes the OSCE, Russia, Ukraine, the European Union and the United States as mediators. The latest round was held on June 2-3, 2016 in Berlin.
