The European Union and Ukraine have reiterated their interest in Moldova's integrity, President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy said on Monday summarizing the results of Ukrainian-EU summit in Brussels.
"We have confirmed common EU, Ukrainian interest in Moldova's integrity," Van Rompuy said.
Talks on the settlement of the Transdnestrian conflict may be revived in 2011, he added.
The Russian-speaking province of Transdnestr has maintained de facto independence from Moldova since a brief war in 1992, which erupted from a buildup of tensions following the breakup of the Soviet Union.
The talks on the future of Transdnestr in the "five-plus-two" format, involving Russia, Ukraine, OSCE, Moldova, Transdnestr, with the United States and the EU as observers, have been frozen since February 2006.
Tiraspol insists on independence, and even integration with Russia, while Chisinau says it is willing only to give Transdnestr autonomy within Moldova.
