Russia· Sergei LavrovEU on Moldova's EU accession and Transnistrian conflict
Russia notes the EU's statement that the Transnistrian conflict is not an obstacle to Moldova's EU accession, implying Brussels' acceptance of Russian troops in Transnistria.
Background
Moldova, a former Soviet republic, has sought closer ties with the European Union, a move complicated by the unresolved conflict in its breakaway Transnistria region, where Russian troops are stationed. Russia views the EU's engagement in the region with suspicion, seeing it as an encroachment on its sphere of influence.
