US embassy cable - 04DUBLIN1199

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: IRELAND'S RESPONSE TO MOLDOVA/TRANSNISTRIA DEMARCHE 
 
REF: A. STATE 169792 
 
     B. AMEMBASSY THE HAGUE 1975 
 
1.  On August 11, Post delivered ref A's requested demarche 
to Jane Connelly, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Third 
Secretary for Eastern Europe (who noted that more senior 
 
SIPDIS 
officers were on leave).  Connelly said that Ireland shared 
EU concerns about rising tensions in Moldova/Transnistria and 
supported the EU's aim to involve the OSCE in a resolution 
process.  She added that the EU concurred with the USG's 
position on the importance of transparency in the Russian 
Government's efforts to engage Moldovan and Transnistrian 
officials. 
 
2.  Consistent with ref B, Connelly mentioned that an EU 
delegation departed for the region on August 9 and was 
scheduled to meet that evening in Chisinau with Heads of EU 
Member States' Missions and the representative of the OSCE. 
On August 10, the delegation was scheduled to consult with 
Moldovan and Transnistrian authorities.  On August 11, the 
delegation was due to travel to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian 
authorities.  Donnelly expected that a report on the trip's 
outcome would be issued within the EU on August 12. 
 
3.  Connelly added that the EU would shortly finalize its 
visa ban on Transnistrian officials involved in 
Moldovan-language school closures.  The summer leave season 
in Brussels had delayed the process, however.
