Transdniestria and Moldova: unloved, unresolved (April 8 , 2009)
Transdniestria, a breakaway region in Moldova, has several of the attributes of statehood including its own currency, government and police force. But to date no state has recognized Transdienstria's independence. Russia has considerable influence in the region, issuing Russian passports and stationing "peacekeeping" troops there. Despite this, Russia remains rather lukewarm in its support for Transdniestria's independence. (openDemocracy)
