Mr Litra has emphasized that the conflict in Transnistria will not be resolved in a diplomatic way, instead the policy “from the bottom” should be used, which will allow for the de-facto reintegration of civilians and elite. The expert underpinned that the European Union has to become an active actor in this process, in order to reinforce the confidence between Moldova and Transnistria, by reforming the peacekeeping agreements and involving the region to EU-Moldova cooperation. However, according to Moldovian expert, the most important contribution of the EU to the process of resolution of the conflict could be the support of the euro integration of Moldova by the process of smoothening the visa regime and creation of free trade zones. Leonid Litra also has emphasized the special role of Ukraine as an actor, who is able to positively influence the resolution of the conflict in the region.
