“We assert, based on analyzes, that there are no direct threats to Moldova,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
The minister clarified that there are no indirect threats of a military nature to the republic either.
“There is a big problem of indirect threats, when groups pursuing non-national interests are trying to destabilize the situation in our country,” he says.
Earlier, Moldovan Ambassador to Bucharest Victor Chirila said that Chisinau sees no security risks from Transnistria.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said earlier that the possibility of provocations by Ukraine near Transnistria is a matter of concern.
The diplomat urged international organizations to pay attention to information about Kiev preparing a provocation with the delivery of radioactive materials.
