Moldovan Foreign Affairs Minister Iurie Leanca recently said that authorities cannot allow Russia to open a consulate in Tiraspol, the capital of the breakaway republic of Transnistria.
„My understanding is that there has been a request for opening a consulate in Tiraspol, but that is unfortunately not possible. As long as a territory is not controlled by the constitutional authorities in Chisinau, it is inadmissible to heed such a request," Mr. Leanca noted.
Transnistria has had de facto independence since 1992, after a short but bloody war with Chisinau. Russia has often shown support for the breakaway republic, and many people in the region have Russian passports. Some Russian parties also have branches there.
