According to local oppositionist and activist Gennadiy Chorba, a "congress of deputies of all levels" is scheduled for February 28 in Tiraspol, Moldova (the capital of unrecognized Transnistria). At this meeting, a request "on behalf of the citizens living on the left bank of the Dniester, to accept Transnistria into Russia" is to be voiced. 

An adviser to the Moldovan Prime Minister, Daniel Vode, commented on the alleged "congress" in Tiraspol on February 28 and said that the Bureau for Reintegration Policy is closely monitoring the recovery in Moldova's Transnistrian region.
