“We agreed with PM Gavrilița to resume the work of bilateral cooperation mechanisms of the joint intergovernmental commission on trade and economic cooperation and its working group, the Dniester Commission, as well as to intensify the negotiation processes on legal and contractual regulation of the operating conditions of the Dniester Hydropower Complex and the demarcation of the state border,” Shmyhal noted.
