Moldovan authorities have proposed a meeting with representatives from Transnistria, scheduled for late July, to discuss the establishment of a “convergence fund.” The proposal, announced by Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Valeriu Chiveri following a government session, suggests a “1+1” format for the talks – one representative from each side. The fund aims to facilitate economic cooperation and address socio-economic disparities between Moldova and the breakaway region of Transnistria. Chisinau is awaiting the Transnistrian delegation’s response and arrival. This initiative represents a renewed effort to engage in direct dialogue and potentially bridge the gap between the two sides. The specifics of the fund’s structure and potential funding sources remain undisclosed, pending the outcome of the proposed meeting. This move signals a potential shift towards a more pragmatic approach to resolving the long-standing Transnistrian conflict.
