Tiraspol will not interfere in the demarcation of the Transdniestrian section of the Ukrainian-Moldovan border, said the Foreign Ministry of the self-proclaimed republic Transdniestria.
"Desiring to strengthen good-neighborly relations with Ukraine, Transdniestria decided not to impede the demarcation work," reads the statement by the Transdniestrian Foreign Ministry.
In response, the Ukrainian government offered guarantees that the demarcation personnel would stay on Ukrainian territory and would not cross the frontier into the breakaway province, which styles itself on the Transdniestrian Moldovan Republic, the ministry said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, Transdniestria has been denied the opportunity of equal participation in the demarcation work at any level in view of the absence of a clear mechanism of guaranteed equal representation for the Transdniestrian Moldovan Republic in relevant formats and mechanisms. Repeated proposals for developing such a mechanism remain without a response," the statement said.
Earlier, Transdniestria said it would not allow Moldovan frontier demarcation personnel onto its territory.
Ukraine and Moldova reportedly embarked on their final stage of demarcation on Friday.
