Moldova’s parliament approved on Wednesday a new pro-European Union government led by Gaburici after months of disagreement over political posts since the country’s November elections.
Psaki said the United States would “continue to seek a comprehensive and peaceful settlement to the Transnistria conflict, supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova with a special status for Transnistria.”
The Russian-speaking Transnistria region declared independence from Moldova in 1990, which was followed by a short war between March and July in 1992. Russian peacekeepers have maintained a presence in the breakaway Transnistria region since the end of the conflict.
A 2006 referendum in Transnistria showed the citizens backed joining Russia.
Moldova signed a European Union Association Agreement in June 2014 to further economic and political integration with the bloc.
