Contracts between Dubasari district peasants and Transnistrian authorities jeopardise inalienability of Moldovan territory

Signing the contracts with the Dubasari break-away authorities, having as subject the so-called „giving for temporary usage” of land plots by the break-away authorities, while those plots are private property of the Dubasari district peasants, is nothing but an action jeopardising the inalienability of the territory of the Republic of Moldova, the Promo-Lex Association considers. Last weekend, Grigore Policinschi, the head of the Dubasari district, announced that following more talks, the district administration reached an agreement with the Transnistrian authorities that the peasants should conclude contracts with them, as they will issue free travelling certificates to cultivate the farmlands beyond the Rabnita-Dubasari-Tiraspol roadway, controlled by the Tiraspol regime. According to a communique of the Association, quoted by Info-Prim Neo, solving the farmlands problems can happen only after the unconditional elimination of all kinds of obstacles, applied against land owning peasants. Promo-Lex considers that negotiating and signing any documents with the separatist representatives, while the latter ones announce they will organise a referendum on declaring the independence and claim to take over the joint control in the Dorotcaia village, and while the Russian Federation continues to support the regime, it is very suspicious and dangerous for the future determination of some legal and territorial-administrative aspects. The Promo-Lex Association salutes the efforts of the constitutional authorities regarding the liquidation of all obstacles against the people of the Dubasari district to use their lands. In the autumn of 2004, several companies from the Dubasari district sent the ECHR individual complaints, invoking the violation of art.13 of the Convention and art.1 of the Additional Protocol. Since early 2005 till present more petitions from land owners from the Dubasari district (2000 people) have been registered. On 26 January 2006, the European Court for Human Rights has decided to apply art.40 and 41 of the Rules of the Strasbourg Court for 2 of those petitions submitted by the farmland owners from the Dubasari district.
