The foreign minister spoke about the relationship between the expulsion of Russian diplomats from Moldova, Kishinev's plans to transform the peacekeeping operation, the establishment of Moldo-Ukrainian control over the Pridnestrovian border and the blocking of international negotiations
According to the member of the Pridnestrovian delegation, Vasily Vakarchuk, recent developments in Moldova signal there is a task to shatter and unbalance the JCC's work

According to the head of the PMR's government, the allegations by the Moldovan president that foreign assistance is "carved up" in Pridnestrovie are untrue as the country's economic activities are absolutely open to monitoring
