The Russian Foreign Ministry has handed a note to Moldovan Ambassador Lilian Darii, demanding an explanation of why the country’s President Maia Sandu has not yet received the credentials of Russian envoy to Chisinau Oleg Ozerov.
"On March 5, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Moldovan Ambassador Lilian Darii. Russia expressed its bewilderment over the fact that the Moldovan president had still not received the credentials of Russian Ambassador Oleg Ozerov, who arrived in the country in October 2024. This delay is considered a violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations."
In this regard, the Moldovan envoy "was handed the text of the Vienna Convention and also received a verbal note demanding an explanation of the reasons why Moldova was violating the convention’s provisions related to unified practices regarding the heads of diplomatic missions and the order in which they present their credentials."
Tass reported that Ozerov is "still waiting for the procedure to take place." According to the diplomat, he arrived in Moldova on October 4, 2024, after a formal approval for his appointment had been received. On October 24, he handed over the copies of his credentials, which, under international law, gave him full authority as ambassador. However, the Moldovan president still has not accepted his credentials in an official ceremony.
Relations between Chisinau and Moscow cooled, when in 2022 Moldova joined sanctions on Moscow and demanded the expulsion of several dozen employees of the Russian Embassy from the country.
