Consultations on humanitarian aspects with experts of the United Nations Refugees Agency

On 8 and 10 July this year, Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Oleg Serebrian and the Head of the Bureau for Reintegration Policies Alin Gvidiani held working consultations with the delegation of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) with the participation of international expert Martina Caterina, who is paying a familiarization visit to the Republic Moldova.

The topic of discussion was the situation of human rights victims from the Transnistrian region, who, due to persecution from Tiraspol, are forced to temporarily settle on the right bank of the Nistru River, in settlements controlled by the constitutional authorities.

There was also an exchange of views and ideas on potential support measures through cooperation between the Republic of Moldova and UNHCR to provide the necessary assistance to people at risk in the Transnistrian region of the country.

Similar consultations took place with other responsible national authorities and during the subsequent period relevant proposals on this issue will be formulated.
