The Special Representative of the Serbian OSCE Chairperson-in-Office for the Transnistrian Settlement Process Ambassador Radojko Bogojević will visit Chisinau and Tiraspol starting today, February 9, IPN reports, quoting a press release of the OSCE Mission to Moldova.

Bogojević is visiting Chisinau and Tiraspol for the first time this year to prepare the ground for the next round of 5+2 negotiations, which will be scheduled once the working groups and the meetings in the 1+1 format resume their work in 2015.

The chief negotiators of the sides have not met since October 6, 2014, when the electoral process put Chisinau's engagement at this level on hold, pending a new government.

Bogojević will meet interlocutors from both sides on his trip to Tiraspol on February 9, and Chisinau on February 10.
