Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, Roman Roșca, held a meeting with Thomas Lenk, Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office for the Transnistrian Settlement Process. Discussions focused on the current situation in the region, particularly regarding human rights, amid its ongoing deterioration and increased pressure from Tiraspol on citizens who freely express their views or maintain communication with the constitutional authorities, reports TRIBUNA.

Roșca reiterated Chișinău’s concern over numerous cases of arbitrary detention and persecution, renewing the call for the immediate release of illegally detained individuals and the cessation of all forms of citizen intimidation.

The essential role of the OSCE in monitoring the human rights situation and promoting compliance with universally guaranteed standards was also highlighted.

Chișinău reaffirmed its full openness to provide necessary assistance to residents of the Transnistrian region, including in the social-humanitarian dimension, by ensuring access to quality public services, advanced medical care, and sustainable development projects implemented with the support of international partners.

The officials agreed to maintain constant communication and coordinate approaches to identify sustainable solutions for defending fundamental human rights and advancing the peaceful reintegration of the country.
