German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told on Thursday that the resumption of talks on the Transdniestrian settlement, that will be held in the 5+2 format (Moldova, Transdniestria, OSCE, Russia, Ukraine and mediators from the EU and the US), is "good news" and an important step for resolving the conflict.
During his Latin American tour, Steinmeier told that the decision was made during the chairmanship to focus on the unresolved conflicts on the OSCE space, including in Transdniestria.
According to TASS, he also added that the resumption of official talks in the 5+2 format halted more than two years ago is an important interim goal.
