Alexandr Stoianoglo stressed that he was prepared for a discussion according to the conditions indicated by Maia Sandu.

„Certainly, I accept your proposal and I am prepared for a discussion according to the conditions indicated by you. They are, undoubtedly, quite comfortable. As a compliment for the future, I was not the one to initiate the discussion on the unacceptability of certain moderators.
