Council lifts sanctions to recognise progress in Transnistria negotiations

   
    
    The Council today lifted a travel ban on the former political leadership of the Transnistrian
    region of the Republic of Moldova. This acknowledges progress seen under the new
    leadership in negotiating certain aspects of a settlement of the Transnistrian conflict within
    the "5+2" framework. Talks in this setting resumed after a six-year break in December
    2011.
    At the same time, the Council ensured today that travel bans could be re-imposed on those
    blocking progress on the remaining problems regarding Latin-script Moldovan schools in
    Transnistria. The relevant provisions have not been lifted, but do no longer target specific
    persons.
    The Council will continue to monitor and make periodic reviews of developments with
    respect to progress towards a political settlement, the freedom of movement of persons and
    the situation of Latin-script Moldovan schools.
    The act, adopted today by written procedure, will enter into force on publication in
    tomorrow's edition of the EU Official Journal.
