Transnistria will seek international recognition through negotiations rather than war, Vadim Krasnoselsky, the leader of the unrecognized republic, said on Friday.
He has called on reporters to refrain from fueling the conflict in the region that had been recently rocked by a number of terrorist attacks, with the official websites of local government agencies repeatedly blocked by DDoS-attacks.
"Transnistria should and will be recognized, but the process will be peaceful, achieved in negotiations, via dialogue. This should be an exclusively democratic and evolutionary process without any military actions or casualties," he said on his Telegram channel.
