Separatisten bijeen in Moskou, ook uit Donbas

Vertegenwoordigers van afscheidingsbeweging uit Europa kwamen afgelopen weekeinde bijeen in Moskou. Onder de deelnemers bevonden zich separatisten uit Transnistrië, het Spaanse Catalonië, Noord-Ierland en zelfs uit de Verenigde Staten. De separatisten uit Donetsk en Loehansk waren niet officieel uitgenodigd, maar hadden wel vertegenwoordigers gestuurd. Volgens de organisatoren was het belangrijkste gespreksonderwerp het recht op vreedzame zelfbeschikking.

Het was het tweede internationale congres van afscheidingsbewegingen in de Russische hoofdstad. De Russische autoriteiten spendeerden er 3,5 miljoen roebel (bijna 50.000 euro) aan hoewel separatisme bij de wet verboden is in Rusland.
