At the OSCE office in Tiraspol, no one would open the door to receive a letter from the democratic opposition of Pridnestrovie in 2006.

The closed door of the OSCE office in Tiraspol, Pridnestrovie, is seen by many in the young country as a symbolism of the international organization's unwillingness to engage in dialogue with the people of Pridnestrovie. When dialogue exists, the critics say, it is based on the premise of a Moldovan territorial claim which doesn't square with reality. Pridnestrovie's negotiators have put other proposals forward but the OSCE has shown itself incapable of thinking outside the box. So far, Pridnestrovie's proposals have had no welcome ... as the OSCE's closed door in this photograph shows.
