Separatist leader meets with OSCE officials, says only talks can solve the Transnistrian conflict

Igor Smirnov, the President of the breakaway republic of Transnistria in eastern Moldova, recently met with Charalampos Christopoulos, the special representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office.

Mr. Smirnov said that only talks can solve the Transnistrian conflict, but noted that certain guarantees were necessary for each side to be able to work together.

Chisinau has not been able to control Transnistria since 1992, after the separatists took over in the wake of a short but bloody civil war.
