As the Foreign Ministry's Press Service reports, during the conversation the sides discussed a number of topical issues of bilateral interaction between Pridnestrovie and Hungary in the social and humanitarian sphere, including the prospects for implementation of a number of joint cultural projects in the near future.
The two sides also exchanged opinions on the current state of the negotiation process between Pridnestrovie and Moldova. Vitaly Ignatiev emphasized the negative factors that cause serious concern in Pridnestrovie, in particular, Moldova’s continuing practice to avoid the systematic interaction with Pridnestrovian representatives at the level of expert (working) groups.
