OSSETIA WITH OSCE AND GUAM PARTNERS 
 
REF: STATE 40673 
 
Classified By: Ambassador Michael D. Kirby, for reasons 1.4 (b) and 
(d). 
 
(C) We raised reftel talking points with Vitalie Ruso, head of the 
Department for OSCE and International Security at the Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs and European Integration. Mr. Ruso said that, given 
sensitivities regarding ongoing talks about a Transnistrian 
settlement, Moldova would prefer not to raise reftel issue (Russian 
"mechanisms" to protect the rights of its citizens in Abkhazia and 
South Ossetia) directly with Russia. However, he stated that Moldova 
would be happy to discuss the issue with its GUAM and OSCE partners.
