During the dialogue the president noted the active interaction between the German embassy and Pridnestrovie's governmental authorities.
«The direct cooperation helps to form objective information on the situation in Pridnestrovie. It is both important and valuable for us. The cooperation is underway in the social sphere as well. This is, for instance, the implementation of the project on reconstruction of water supply and disposal systems in the Dubossary district," underscored Yevgeniy Shevchuk.
The president expressed Pridnestrovie's concern over continuing unilateral actions taken by Moldova. This particularly refers to attempts to prevent the proper work of Pridnestrovian enterprises, politically motivated criminal charges brought against Pridnestrovie's authorities, as well as putting them on international wanted list and arresting them abroad.
