TIRASPOL, August 22. /TASS/. Moldova’s breakaway region of Transnistria has accused Chisinau of stalling talks on breaking the imports’ standoff, in which excisable goods into Transnistria are currently blocked.

"The Moldovan side has once again avoided holding a session in Tiraspol on August 23 to review problems of imports in Transnistria by rail, citing some ‘valid reasons," the Foreign Ministry of the breakaway region charged.

The ministry "has appealed to the OSCE chairperson-in-office to intensify work," the statement added.

It said Chisinau’s actions deviated from the position voiced by the OSCE chairperson-in-office, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who had spoken in favor of settling the issue at the negotiating table.
