On May 14 of this year, following a two-year pause, a meeting of the expert (working) groups of Pridnestrovie and Moldova on regulatory, legal, and document support for citizens was held via videoconference.
During the discussion, the Pridnestrovian side noted the emergence of new issues regarding the documentation of citizens, caused by unilateral and uncoordinated decisions by Moldovan authorities. Specifically, it relates to the refusal to issue citizens with original paper documents. An increasing number of Pridnestrovians are facing such problems.
Despite the substantial list of issues requiring attention from the relevant agencies and civil registry offices of both sides within the framework of bilateral cooperation, representatives from Chisinau categorically refused to engage in contact or practical cooperation with Pridnestrovian civil registry offices, as well as to develop a mechanism for exchanging information containing personal data.
