What the law says"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lawyer Vadim Vieru explained that the state can bar foreign nationals from leaving the country only in specific circumstances\u2014for example, if they are serving a prison sentence, are under criminal investigation and subject to a restriction imposed by the competent authorities, or fall within another category specified by law. The measure announced against Vadim Krasnoselski therefore appears to be unenforceable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThey all require a prosecutor or a judge. A press conference is not on the list,\u201d <\/em>the legal expert says following the announcement by the constitutional authorities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vieru also draws attention to the five-year period cited, <a href=\"https:\/\/laziar.com\/@agora\/post\/150372\">Agora<\/a> reports. According to him, the law provides for this period in cases where a foreign national is barred from entering the Republic of Moldova or declared undesirable, not to prevent them from leaving the country.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawyer says that before Vadim Krasnoselski could be barred from leaving the country, there would first need to be a criminal case in which he is formally designated a suspect. Prosecutors could then request an order prohibiting him from leaving the Republic of Moldova.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a measure may be imposed for no more than 60 days, and each extension must be justified. A five-year restriction would therefore require a series of successive decisions, each supported by its own justification.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vadim Krasnoselski travelled to Moscow in early November, saying he wanted to negotiate gas supplies to the Transnistrian region. The self-proclaimed leader was decorated at the Kremlin by Vladimir Putin for<em> \u201cstrengthening the unity of the Russian nation\u201d<\/em>. He later claimed that the left bank of the Dniester was part of the Russian world.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chi\u0219in\u0103u condemned the statement and announced that, should he return, he would be barred from leaving the country for five years. The legal basis for the measure was not specified.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vasile Tofan claimed that the constitutional authorities had thus outmaneuvered the Kremlin, which had allegedly planned to portray Krasnoselski as a victim if he were denied entry to Moldova and to offer his family refuge in Moscow.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although former president Igor Dodon claimed that Vadim Krasnoselski might hold Moldovan citizenship, current Prime Minister Vasile Tofan denied the claim.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vadim Krasnoselski is nearing the end of his purported term as leader of the Transnistrian region. A so-called election to choose a new leader there will be held in December.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawyer Vadim Vieru explained that the state can bar foreign nationals from leaving the country only in specific circumstances\u2014for example, if they are serving a prison sentence, are under criminal investigation and subject to a restriction imposed by the competent authorities, or fall within another category specified by law.
