    Lawyers argue that a five-year ban on Vadim Krasnoselsky, the leader of Transnistria, leaving Moldova lacks legal basis. The ban, announced by the Bureau of Reintegration Policies, cannot be imposed without a court decision or prosecutor's involvement. Current laws allow restrictions on foreigners' departure only under specific conditions, such as imprisonment, criminal proceedings, or medical measures, none of which apply to Krasnoselsky.
