As Ambassador to Moldova since July 2006 for the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe’s (OSCE), Louis O’Neill has maintained a firm commitment to free and fair elections there. Democratic processes, the rule of law and good elections are an essential precondition for creating and maintaining the human security and freedom that the OSCE aims to bring to all its participating States.

In December 2006, Ambassador Louis ONeill led the OSCE Mission to Moldova in observing two rounds of elections for the Bashkan (Governor) of Gagauzia, an autonomous province in the country’s south. The elections there were generally held in a calm and orderly manner. “We commend the Gagauz electoral authorities for a good administration of the second round of elections,” said Ambassador O’Neill.

According to the Head of Mission, during the second round on December 17, 2006 campaign conditions improved considerably in comparison with the first round held two weeks earlier on December 3. “Both candidates enjoyed equal access to the media and had the opportunity to take part in televised debates on Teleradio Gagauzia,” Ambassador Louis O’Neill said.

OSCE Mission Members visited all 64 polling stations on Election Day and followed the counting procedures in six locations after the polls closed.

The people of Moldova continue to suffer due to the effects of separatism by the breakaway region of Transnistria. This was apparent during the last round of local and municipal elections in Moldova, where access to polling centers in left-bank (Transnistrian-controlled) villages, particularly around Corjova, was severely impeded by the Transnistrian authorities. Ambassador Louis O’Neill and his team worked tirelessly to ensure that all Moldovans eligible to vote were able to access a polling center in the last election.

Despite these efforts and a deep commitment to fair elections on the part of the OSCE, Transnistrian militiamen forced their way into the Moldovan polling place in Corhova on the day of the election, blocking voters and shutting it down.

“Closing down a polling station by force is unacceptable,” said Ambassador Louis O’Neill. “The OSCE Mission made intensive efforts over the last days to mediate a solution which would have prevented this escalation. We deeply regret that it was not possible to find such a solution and that Corjova voters were again deprived of their right to elect a mayor and a local council.” O’Neill was referencing an incident two weeks earlier in which Transnistrian militiamen so effectively blocked access to polls that only 99 out of 1350 voters were able to vote, rendering the election invalid.

Ambassador Louis O’Neill expressed his concern for maintaining the peace along with ensuring that fair elections take place in Moldova. “Mission members counted approximately 70 Transnistrian militiamen and about 40 Moldovan police in and around the polling station on Sunday,” said Ambassador O’Neill. “The Moldova authorities showed restraint by not bringing in additional forces to attempt to repel the Transnistrian seizure of the voting place. Such a move could have driven events beyond control. Overall it was clear that neither side wished to further escalate this very difficult situation.”

Ambassador O’Neill’s ability to work with both sides and deep understanding of their political and cultural differences are an expression of his genuine commitment to protecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova with a special status for the Transnistrian region.

Although there is a list of the countries which US citizens can entry without visa, Russian Federation still require every US citizen to take a time and visit nearest consulate in the area or to request a visa via mail. But that would be not the most difficult part of the process. Visa is issued based on the purpose of the visit and the list of the required documents required for every single person, no exceptions. And it’s good if you have two spare weeks to arrange everything. Although you can always process visa in one day in case if you have already prepared letter of the invitation or voucher or you have a trusted travel AGENT to take care of everything on your behave. But it’s only your responsibility not to forget all your travel documents inside of the top drawer in your bedroom.

Also, it’s good to remember that Russia uses the electricity standard of 220 volts and 50 hertz. For a long time the electricity was pretty cheap and not much people care about saving it, but as prices for major sources of energy went up Russian quite actively start support energy saving programs brought by European enthusiasts. The power sockets are exactly the same as in France and if you’re a planning to take on your trip some of appliances of American origin, so it’s time to consider buying an adapter and avoid running around nearest electronic stores in search of one.

Going along with digital world progress, today Russia is one of the biggest consumers of new cell phone or PDA around the world. You could hardly meet a person without one, so feel free to take your device as long as it’s GSM standard compatible. You could easily take a prepaid sim card on every corner, but if you are planning to make international phone calls and tell you family of your good time in Moscow or St. Petersburg, avoid direct phone calls and just buy international phone card which gives you almost the same rates of 3 – cents per minute as in USA.

There has been some changes in Russian visa regulations, which were implemented a few days ago.

1. A foreign citizen can now obtain a Russian visa ONLY in the country of his/her citizenship. One can also obtain a Russian visa in another country but will need to present to the Russian consulate a permit of stay in that country valid for more than 90 days. A visa may also be issued in a country other than an applicant’s own in case of urgent necessity, such as participating in international, governmental, official, scientific, sport and cultural events. A final decision in these cases would be left up to the consulate.

2. A multiple entry business visa allows nationals of all countries to stay in Russia up to 90 days out of the period of 180 days.

3. A multiple entry visa is only available for people who have been issued a Russian visa before. If this is your first visit, you are only eligible to obtain a single or double entry visa for 1 to 3 months, which is the only way now to stay in Russia for longer than 50% of time if you plan to live here (apart from getting a residence permit or an official work permit, which enables you to stay in Russia for as long as you are employed here). A copy of your previous Russian visa should be enclosed in your application for a multiple entry invitation.
A possible workaround for the 1st rule would be to get a simple registration, not an official visa-permit of stay and try to get a visa with it. It’s still an official document, and the consulate might be OK with it. For example, in Germany one can get a “registration” (anmeldung) quite easily in a local area council office. If anybody knows about this possibility in other countries, please, post it here.

The new Regulations of getting Russian Business Visa for EU citizens come into effect on June 1. To obtain a Business Visa to Russia an applicant must now present an original invitation letter from the inviting Russian company to a Russian consulate or embassy abroad.

Unlike the previously used Letters Of Invitation, which were issued by Passport and Visa Department or Ministry of Foreighn Affairs, the new letters are to be written by the company itself on its stationery, signed by the Director and stamped.

N.B. The new Regulations concern ONLY EU citizens. Citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland and Denmark will require Letters of Invitation issued by Passport and Visa Department / Ministry of Foreighn Affairs to apply for their Russian visas.

However, as it often happens in Russia, even though the law is signed in the effect, the forms that will have to be used, requirements to the letter contents, the procedure of the letter approval and many other details have not yet been finalized. We urge you to contact affiliated agencies for up to date information.
