Response to Protesting the Opening of Transnistria Office in Moscow
As delivered by Acting Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Macris
to the Permanent Council, Vienna
January 31, 2019
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The United States recognizes Moldova’s concern that the recent opening of a Transnistria office in Moscow will distract from the OSCE-led 5+2 settlement process. Full respect for Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders is a basic tenet of the 5+2. Actions that could erode trust and goodwill risk undermining the process, which is in no one’s interest.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
