  • It’s the status quo and not doing anything in hope (valid perhaps) that the problem resolves itself is the strategy employed by Moldova. While your comparison is technically true it’s not all that clear, and it can become ugly, because Moldova as a state never actually held these territories, and in case of russian disappearance act they will immediately claim that they are an authonomous region as moldovan law states, or even start their old song about them being ukrainians so obviously they can’t be part of the country on general terms. At best Moldova gets another gagauzia. Add to everything else their stokholm syndrom (I know that it probably doesn’t exist) with russia and their strong influence.


  • Nah, you misunderstand, it suits business interests in both countries. Odesa (big port city) is like 60 kilometers away from Moldova/Transinistria border and Cisnau is in ~200. There is a lot of money in smuggling, unlicenced alcohol/tobacco production etc. There is like 1000 russian army people in the region and Moldovan armed forces or even politicians could have resolved the issue if it was in anyones’s interest, call it a hunch but even after removal of russian forces it would take years before “re-integration” will really start. Despite region being very small.
