STATEMENT by Mr. Andrei STRATAN at the Closing Session of the 16th OSCE Ministerial Council Meeting (Helsinki, 5 December 2008) www.mfa.gov.md
08.12.2008
We call once again on all involved actors to engage actively in the discussions for the substitution of the military contingents in the Security Zone by a multinational civil mission under an international mandate. We reiterate our position concerning the full, early and unconditional withdrawal of the all military forces and ammunition of the Russian Federation from the territory of the Republic of Moldova in compliance with the obligations undertaken in the framework of the OSCE Summits. This will provide the necessary ground for the ratification by the Republic of Moldova of the Adapted CFE Treaty.

 Statement by Vlad Lupan, Independent Expert from Moldova at the briefing held by the U.S. Helsinki Commission 24.09.2008
Thank you for the possibility to share my views about the democracy in Moldova, as well as for the concern that the Commission shows for my country. I hope this extremely encouraging attitude continues and the Commission will organize a hearing on Moldovan matters ahead of 2009 elections. I would also like to thank the Moldova Foundation based in Washington for assisting me in attending this session. I do not intend to speak about the comparative successes of the current Government versus existing problems, as the Government has the opportunity to promote its point of view extensively through the existing network of official visits and meetings. The civil society has fewer possibilities. Therefore I will go to the point and focus mainly on those concrete shortcomings that present a serious concern for democracy in Moldova.

The Position of a Group of Experts Regarding the Impact of the Georgian Crisis on the Republic of Moldova 26.08.2008
The armed conflict between Russia and Georgia has produced a major political-military crisis capable of generating profound transformations in the system of international relations. Rapid and fundamental degradation of institutional cooperation mechanisms and relations between Russia, on the one part, and the European Union and NATO, on the other, marks the beginning of a new period of confrontation, with serious implications for regional security and stability. The Georgian crisis threatens stability of many post-Soviet countries that Russia unilaterally perceives as being part of its paramount sphere of interests. These countries face separatist conflicts that have been initiated and supported politically, economically and militarily by the Russian Federation. The armed conflict between Georgia and Russia has clearly demonstrated the role of Russia as a party in these conflicts and highlighted the limitations of the existing system for ensuring stability in the frozen conflict zones.

Speech by U.S. Charge d'Affaires on July 4, 2008 04.07.2008
Perhaps, these commonalities explain the affinity between the United States and Moldova, and provide a basis for America’s continued interest in the future of Moldova. Perhaps, they explain why Americans, both through our government and as private citizens, maintain partnerships and friendships with the Moldovan people and support your progress along the path of democratic development.
