Vadim Krasnoselski will be barred from leaving Moldova for five years if he returns to the country. The authorities in Chi\u0219in\u0103u made the announcement after the leader of the self-proclaimed region received an award from Vladimir Putin and declared that Transnistria is part of the Russian world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vasile Tofan said on Thursday that Moscow wanted to lure Moldova into a trap, while Vadim Krasnoselski sought to portray himself as a victim so he could then ask Vladimir Putin for asylum, Zona de Securitate<\/a> reports. Officials in Chi\u0219in\u0103u say the separatist leader is believed to still be in the Russian capital.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe took a different, asymmetrical approach, telling him: Mr. Krasnoselski, please return to Tiraspol if you care so much about what you have\u2014or have not\u2014achieved there. Comrade Krasnoselski is welcome to return to Tiraspol, but he must be prepared to stay put for five years and enjoy the fruits of his administration\u2019s recent work,\u201d<\/em> said Moldova\u2019s prime minister.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The prime minister offered no details on the legal basis for the restriction or how it would be enforced, given that Vadim Krasnoselski does not hold Moldovan citizenship.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cRussia wants to provoke us; it is setting a trap for us. Comrade Krasnoselski has already made plans to stay in Russia with his family, because it is not the comforts of Tiraspol he wants, but those of Moscow. And they are encouraging us to ban him from entering the country so that he has an excuse: \u2018Look, I\u2019m not going to Moldova because they won\u2019t let me in,\u2019\u201d<\/em> Vasile Tofan added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
