On 18 March, EUBAM Head Slawomir Pichor met with Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Oleg Serebrian to discuss further Mission’s technical assistance to the Transnistrian settlement process. This meeting carried significant weight, especially in light of the Mission’s recently extended mandate until November 2025, tailoring EUBAM’s actions to the evolving regional landscape.

Both parties underscored EUBAM’s role in analyzing and monitoring trends in trade and economic dynamics. They also emphasized EUBAM’s support in approximating customs and trade-related requirements between the two banks of the Nistru River.

Furthermore, they reconfirmed the importance of reinforcing capacity-building events to strengthen the settlement process through targeted initiatives related to the Transnistrian region. Enhancing confidence-building measures remains one of the key objectives within the EUBAM action plan.
