Kyiv and Chisinau initiate demarcation of border, separatists in Transnistria promise not to interfere

Kyiv and Chisinau have initiated the demarcation of the border between the two countries by unveiling a border sign around the central section of the border.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Petro Poroshenko said that he hopes this process is over by 2012.

The two countries agreed on the demarcation in 2008.

Thus far, Transnistrian authorities have said that they will not impede the process as long as the demarcation is done outside Transnistrian territory. The separatist republic shares about 450 km of the 1,222-km border between the two countries.

P.M. Vlad Filat will be in Kyiv tomorrow, as well, to talk to P.M. Yulia Timoshenko about border and property issues.
