The European Union Council of Foreign Ministers decided to temporarily suspend a travel ban on Transnistrian leaders for six months.
The ban has, however, been extended until the end of February 2011.
As a result, separatist leaders can travel to the European Union until September 2010.
The EU made this move to motivate Chisinau and Tiraspol to improve their negotiations for the resolution of the Transnistrian conflict.
The new ruling Alliance for European Integration has also asked the EU to temporarily suspend the travel ban in an attempt to extend an olive branch to the Transnistrians.
Ever since 2003, when the ban was initiated, nearly 20 Transnistrian leaders have been unable to travel to the European Union.
The separatists have complained about these measures as being unfair.
