"(The Republic of ) Moldova recognised the Romanian language as the official language, contrary to the provisions in their own Constitution. This is one more step towards the full separation from Transnistria ", Puşkov, posted on his Twitter account.
The separatist leader in Tiraspol, Evgheni Şevciuk, stated Thursday in an interview for the Russian radio station City-FM, that he had nothing against the decision, but he would want that the Republic of Moldova take into consideration the interests of the inhabitants in the transnistrean region .
The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Moldova ruled that the official language of the Republic of Moldova is “the Romanian language not the Moldavian language based on Latin orthography”, giving the status of constitutional norm to the country’s Statement of Independence adopted in August 1991.
