Election issue: OSCE ignores discrimination against Transnistrian residents

The unrecognized republic is already concerned about possible provocations on September 28.

On November 1, Russian Ambassador to Moldova Oleg Ozerov told Izvestia that Russia is open to dialogue on the status of Transnistria and sees no obstacles to its beginning. According to the diplomat, a serious and competent approach is needed in this matter, since such problems are not solved offhand. According to him, the conflict was connected with attempts to commit genocide against the Russian-speaking Russian population in Transnistria and was stopped by Russia.

Later, on November 12, the head of the Second Department of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Russian Foreign Minister Alexei Polishchuk said that despite the unconstructive approach of the Moldovan authorities, Russia is ready to contribute to the settlement process in Transnistria. He drew attention to the illegal actions of Chisinau during the September parliamentary elections in Moldova, when residents of the left bank were deprived of the opportunity to vote.
