MOSCOW, October 16 (RIA Novosti) – Attempts to reform the current peacekeeping mission in the unrecognized Moldovan republic of Transnistria will not contribute to settling the conflict in the region, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday.
“It is evident that political forces, who back a transformation of the existing peacekeeping mission, aim not at reaching guarantees of peace and stability in the Dniester region, but at having the Russian peacekeeping contingent removed from the zone of conflict by all costs,” the ministry said in a statement.
“We think that the potential of the current peacekeeping mission is far from being exhausted. The operation in Transnistria is unique as no deaths of peacekeepers or any serious clashes were registered during its 22-year history,” the statement reads.
