It has long been known that while Moldova is shaken by internal political struggle, Transnistria can live relatively calmly - Chisinau simply has no time for it. Now the situation is different. The consolidation of power in Moldova, and even in the hands of the right, does not bode well for Transnistria. It is already clear that the new people are very determined and intend to endure any obstacles. Experts during an online meeting...

On May 17, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia, Aureliu Ciocoi, Dmitry Kuleba and David Zalkaliani, signed a memorandum in Kyiv on the start of cooperation on European integration “Associated Trio”. The three states intend to work together actively along the path of European integration, which, as stated, is their common goal. As part of the new unification, the countries plan to hold consultations along...

During the early parliamentary elections in Moldova, the Transnistrian issue will most likely be touched upon little - Maia Sandu and her Action and Solidarity (PAS) party, which will set the tone in this campaign, will focus on items on the domestic Moldavian agenda that are beneficial to them. But after the elections, a period of confrontation between the elites of Chisinau and Tiraspol may begin. On the possible development of the regional situation...

On May 12, the parliamentary election campaign started in Moldova. On the same day, two ex-presidents of the country, the chairman of the Party of Socialists (PSRM) Igor Dodon and the leader of the Party of Communists (PCRM) Vladimir Voronin signed an agreement on the creation of an electoral bloc to participate in the early parliamentary elections scheduled for July 11. Reportedly, the bloc of socialists and communists was created as an alliance of patriotic forces...

Moldovan-Russian relations have remained tense for many years; Chisinau and Moscow make little use of the experience of many years of cooperation and opportunities for establishing connections. The election of Maia Sandu to the post of President of the Republic of Moldova, who has taken a course towards the West, does not add optimism to this situation. Will Russia intensify its activity in the Moldovan direction, will it continue to rely on the Party of Socialists led by Igor...

The statements of the pro-Western candidate Maia Sandu, who won the presidential elections in Moldova, and demanded the withdrawal of Russian peacekeepers from Transnistria, are dangerous, since she is backed by circles that have nothing to do with Chisinau. Pridnestrovian experts interviewed by PolitNavigator come to this conclusion. Former Foreign Minister of Transnistria Vladimir Yastrebchak, commenting on recent statements by the new leader of the Republic of Moldova, says that her position on peacekeeping looks...

The Moldovan presidential elections of 2020 are doubly remarkable: firstly, for the result - many political scientists and sociologists predicted the victory of Igor Dodon, and not Maia Sandu, and secondly, for the unprecedented activity, which in the second round (although there is no turnout threshold for it) turned out to be higher than in the first one. People, as if in one impulse, went to the ballot boxes. Experts comment on the results to PolitNavigator...

 Residents of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, which has crossed the 30-year mark, exist as a people, are aware of their identity and their right to self-determination. About half of the population of the PMR sees itself as a special ethno-sociocultural community, albeit consisting of different ethnic groups. This eliminates interethnic conflicts and ensures political stability. Candidate of Historical Sciences, Professor Nikolai Babilunga, speaking in Tiraspol at the lecture site...

The Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic celebrated its 30th anniversary. It was proclaimed on September 2, 1990 at the II Extraordinary Congress of Deputies of Transnistria at all levels. This was preceded by the adoption of a language law in Moldova, according to which Moldavian was translated from Cyrillic to Latin script, becoming practically indistinguishable from Romanian, and received the status of the only state language. Moldovan nationalist politicians started talking about...

The results of the Belarusian elections are being discussed in Tiraspol. The situation is being pumped up taking into account the regional context: here, too, election campaigns are about to begin - presidential in Moldova and parliamentary in Transnistria. During the expert discussion that took place at the “Reboot” lecture hall, they talked about the lessons that could be learned from the situation in Belarus. Kyiv - Minsk - Chisinau Belarusian Maidan, it seems, is not...

The Moldovan Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS), led by Maia Sandu, held a protest against the current government in Chisinau on Sunday. The rally participants said that the government is not solving the problems of farmers suffering losses due to drought, has failed in the fight against the spread of coronavirus, is ignoring people’s problems, and is mired in corruption, lies and incompetence. The protesters also drew parallels with the events in Belarus and...

It is impossible to compare the Transnistrian and Donbass conflicts. Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Transnistria Vladimir Yastrebchak stated this on the air of the Ukrainian TV channel KRT, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports. “To impose our recipes would be, to put it mildly, incorrect. For some time in Ukraine there has been talk about the Transnistrianization scenario. I dare to assure you that we here also feared the scenario of Donbassization... Perhaps with some creative thinking...

In the pre-election year 2020, the President of the Republic of Moldova Igor Dodon will want to demonstrate success in resolving the Transnistrian issue, negotiations on a settlement on the Dniester will take place at the level of the heads of Moldova and Transnistria, and the format of the Permanent Conference is “5+2” (OSCE, Russia and Ukraine - mediators in the Chisinau dialogue and Tiraspol, the United States and the European Union are observers) will become a secondary negotiating platform. Such forecasts are given by experts, discussing the tasks that...
