Russian political leaders aggresion against the soverignity of the Republic of Moldova continues: Moldovan premier's reaction to Russian ambassador's gesture

Prime Minister Vlad Filat described the gesture of Russian Ambassador to Moldova Valeri Kuzmin as an insult against Moldovan citizens, the government's communications and press relations department has said.

The premier commented on the matter at the journalists' request.
Filat noted that he hopes that this gesture is a diplomatic mistake.

"I do not want to think it was a premeditated action on behalf of the Russian Federation. I call on the diplomats to stay calm, since the five plus two talks on the Transnistrian settlement are to be resumed in Moscow on 21 June," the premier said.

Moreover, Filat said that the Moldovan, US and European officials' decision to leave the embassy was completely reasoned.
He added that explanations on this incident are to be made in line with the diplomatic procedure.

The media have reported that at the official reception organized on June 10 at the Russian Embassy in Moldova, Valeri Kuzmin, the Russian Ambassador, gave floor to Vladimir Yastrebchak, presenting him as the official chief of the Transnistrian diplomacy.

Transnistria is a separatist region of Moldova, which broke away in 1990; it is not recognized by any UN member state. The Russian military forces and ammunitions are stationed on the Transnistrian territory against the will of the Moldovan authorities.

Reacting to the Russian Ambassador’s gesture, the Moldovan diplomats left the reception; they were followed by diplomats representing the US and the EU missions.
