"They are trying to escalate the situation. I want to say that we are calm and try to manage the situation to not start a conflict or affect somehow the finding of a solution to this conflict" , said Prime Minister Pavel Filip.

The prime minister also said that soon, discussions on illegal enrollment will be resumed.

Earlier, media wrote that the Russian Armed Forces are recruiting young people from Transnistrian region through classified ads. A notice appeared in a newspaper in the region, and the person who answered the phone said that, for enlistment in the army, the applicant must have Russian citizenship, and be registered on the territory. In September 2014 on a social network, young people aged between 19 and 33-year-old were urged to commit to military service in the Russian Operative Group Troops.
