    US AMBASSADOR DENIED ENTRY TO TRANSDNIESTRIA

    Authorities of Transdniestria (autonomous region in Moldova) denied
    entry to US Ambassador to Moldova, Asif Chaudhry. The American
    diplomat was expected to participate in a working group meeting aimed
    at strengthening mutual trust between the two banks of Dniester,
    Russian news agency Itar-Tass reports.

    The ban against diplomats from the US and the EU countries came into
    effect in March 2009 in Transdniestria in response to a decision
    by the US and the European Union to prolong a similar ban against
    Transdniestria's diplomats.

    The US and the EU introduced the first ban against Transdniestrian
    authorities in 2003, citing the reason as being that its leaders
    are unwilling to support international efforts aimed at a peaceful
    settlement of the conflict.

    Transdniestria is located de jure in Eastern Moldova as the autonomous
    region Stînga Nistrului ("Left Dnestr bank"), mostly in a strip
    between the Dniester River and the eastern Moldovan border to Ukraine.

    Since its declaration of independence in 1990, it is governed de
    facto by the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR),
    which claims the east bank of the river Dniester and a small land
    located on the right bank of the Dniester river.
