[The Republic of Moldova at an intersection of years – Info-Prim Neo survey] “The Romanian language schools that work in the Transnistrian region did not see positive changes in 2009. It was a year full of problems and stress as the other years. We are ignored here and considered worthless,” Eleonora Cercavski, the director of “Stefan cel Mare” high school in Grigoriopol, which is now based in Dorotskaya, told Info-Prim Neo. “We are waiting for a positive answer from the European Court of Human Rights and hope those that will be responsible for the implementation of the decision will do it,” Cercavski said. For her part, the director of the Rybnitsa-based high school “Evrica” Eugenia Halus said 2009 was a jubilee year as the school turned 20. “During the year, we had not been disturbed and annoyed by the local administration as they did the previous years,” she said. “However, we encountered a lot of problems. As a result of the ‘war” between the Transnistrian schools that are under the administration of the Education Ministry of Moldova and the authorities of the breakaway republic launched in 2004, our institution was deprived of the building constructed by the Education Ministry. This problem has not been yet solved. We continue working in the building of a kindergarten that the Education Ministry rents from the Metallurgical Plant. The lease must be renewed every year,” Halus said. According to her, the solving of all the problems faced by the Romanian language schools in Transnistria depends on the resolution of the Transnistrian dispute. She added that those who live in the region feel like living in a reserve. “We want that the Education Ministry’s goodwill transposes into facts in 2010. We expect that the ECHR will confirm that we were maltreated and our rights were infringed,” Eugenia Halus said.
