On 10 August 2026, Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Valeriu Chiveri held a working meeting with Daniela Gasparikova, Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Republic of Moldova. 

The meeting addressed assistance programmes and projects implemented by UNDP in support of communities on both banks of the Nistru, with a focus on confidence-building, promoting sustainable development, enhancing energy resilience, as well as other areas of relevance.  

In this context, the need was emphasized for assistance projects and development initiatives to contribute to the efforts of the national authorities in addressing specific challenges faced by residents of the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova, ensuring the functioning of the Romanian-language schools, as well as respect for fundamental human rights and freedoms in the region.
