1. On August 11, Post delivered ref A's requested demarche
to Jane Connelly, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Third
Secretary for Eastern Europe (who noted that more senior

SIPDIS
officers were on leave). Connelly said that Ireland shared
EU concerns about rising tensions in Moldova/Transnistria and
supported the EU's aim to involve the OSCE in a resolution
process. She added that the EU concurred with the USG's
position on the importance of transparency in the Russian
Government's efforts to engage Moldovan and Transnistrian
officials.


2. Consistent with ref B, Connelly mentioned that an EU
delegation departed for the region on August 9 and was
scheduled to meet that evening in Chisinau with Heads of EU
Member States' Missions and the representative of the OSCE.
On August 10, the delegation was scheduled to consult with
Moldovan and Transnistrian authorities. On August 11, the
delegation was due to travel to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian
authorities. Donnelly expected that a report on the trip's
outcome would be issued within the EU on August 12.


3. Connelly added that the EU would shortly finalize its
visa ban on Transnistrian officials involved in
Moldovan-language school closures. The summer leave season
in Brussels had delayed the process, however.
