Talks about Moldovan separatist region to resume (AP)

CHISINAU, Moldova ? Moldova's prime minister says negotiations on the separatist region of Trans-Dniester will resume next week in Lithuania, five years after they stalled.

Moldovan Prime Minister Vlad Filat's office said he and separatist leader Igor Smirnov decided late Monday to restart talks after a meeting in the separatist town of Bender.

Russia, Ukraine, the European Union and the U.S. will also take part in the Nov. 30 talks to be held in Vilnius.

Monday's meeting was mediated by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

Discussions over the status of Trans-Dniester were suspended in 2006.

Trans-Dniester broke away from Moldova in 1990 and fought a war with Moldovan forces in 1992 that left 1,500 people dead.
