Chisinau asks E.U. for temporary lift of travel ban imposed on separatist leaders

Deputy P.M. Victor Osipov recently asked European diplomats in Moldova for a six-month suspension of the travel interdiction on certain leaders in the breakaway republic of Transnistria.

Mr. Osipov said that this decision would allow the Transnistrian leaders to prove that they can eliminate the problems that led to the application of the E.U. interdictions, according a press release from the Government.

The European Union imposed a travel ban on Transnistrian leaders in 2003 and has renewed it ever since. The ban was imposed for the alleged lack of cooperation on Transnistria's side over the resolution of the conflict there.
