Tiraspol, May 18. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. Chairman of the Supreme Council of the PMR Alexander Korshunov met in Moscow with his Russian colleagues representing the interests of Pridnestrovians in the State Duma of the Russian Federation: Alexander Yaroshuk, Konstantin Zatulin, Umakhan Umakhanov, Gennady Onishchenko.
In gratitude for the long-term cooperation, the Head of the Pridnestrovian Parliament presented the Russian deputies with anniversary signs "30 years of the Supreme Soviet of the PMR".
“At a meeting with deputies of the State Duma, we discussed traditional issues that we have been raising for several years. This is a question of a simplified process for obtaining Russian citizenship; this is also individual assistance to our citizens. We also raised issues that are already arising today. This is the work of the consular office on the territory of Pridnestrovie, which has suspended its activities, and these are the risks that may arise in connection with events related to vehicles with Pridnestrovian license plates,” Alexander Korshunov, Chairman of the PMR Supreme Council said.
At the meetings, they also spoke about the continuation of the humanitarian project for the supply of vaccines against COVID-19 to Pridnestrovie, as well as the situation in the process of the Moldovan-Pridnestrovian settlement.
“The deputies of the Supreme Soviet are concerned about the status of negotiations in the 5 + 2 format, which are in a state of a certain freeze today. The working commissions are not working. The agreements that were reached earlier are not working too. The Moldovan side does not fulfill previously reached agreements. Moreover, new difficulties arise "thanks to" inconsistent actions and decisions of the Moldovan side," Alexander Korshunov stressed.
This topic and other issues of concern to Pridnestrovians were also raised at a meeting with a member of the United Russia faction, Chairman of the Education and Science Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, political scientist Vyacheslav Nikonov.
