1. (C) On July 14, poloff delivered reftel message to Vasos
Chamberlen, in the MFA's Division of Bilateral Affairs.
Chamberlen said the Transnistrian referendum was likely a
response to economic restrictions placed on the region. He
said that Russia was probably seeking to draw parallels
between Transnistria and the situation in Kosovo, and cited
as evidence Putin's recent comment that his country was "in
favor of universal solutions" to regional conflicts. He
believed the EU would view the referendum negatively and
would likely issue a statement to that effect. Cyprus would
support this, and for its own political reasons would always
support the maintenance of Moldova's territorial integrity.
