  1. The unrecognized Transnistria demands that Moldova recognize its independence because the country has applied for EU membership.

    According to “European Pravda,” this was reported by the Moldovan NewsMaker.

    The foreign ministry of the unrecognized republic said that this Moldovan decision “puts the final point” in the attempts at a settlement.

    “The Moldovan authorities’ decision means readiness to transfer Moldovan sovereignty to supranational bodies in Brussels and the transition to a final military, political and economic assimilation of Moldovan territory by the West,” it said in a released statement.

    It also says that Moldova’s application for membership “shows Moldova’s refusal of dialogue with Transnistria on the parameters of joint co-existence, which is confirmed by the current crisis state of the negotiation process, the paralysis of the 5+2 format, the refusal of meetings at the highest level, the failure to perform the obligations in the Berlin Plus package, the strengthening of blocking measures against Transnistria.

    The text notes that Transnistria asked “the UN, OSCE and other mediators and observers in the negotiation process” to recognize its independence and establish diplomatic relations.

  2. Wouldn’t this defeat the purpose of Transnistria since they were mainly created to stop Moldova from joining NATO / EU?

    Let’s say they do become independent that just leaves Moldova to finally solve the issues the country has beyond dealing with Transnistria.

  3. I’d they do that, Moldova won’t have any more internal issues preventing it from joining NATO as well. Oh the irony.
