Transdnestr looks to follow Kosovo model for independence
16:18 | 19/ 12/ 2007
TIRASPOL, December 19 (RIA Novosti) - Moldova's breakaway republic of Transdnestr will seek independence from Moldova, if the Kosovo issue is resolved in favor of Albanian separatists, the Transdnestr parliament speaker said on Wednesday.
Transdnestr, a separatist republic with a large ethnic Russian population, proclaimed its independence from Moldova after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
"We see that a decision is being made under the UN aegis to transform Kosovo from a country with an indefinite status to a country governed by international law. We would like our Transdnestrian state to be recognized as well, if such a decision is made," Yevgeny Shevchuk said.
Shevchuk's comments came as the Kosovo issue was being discussed at the UN Security Council.
The Security Council is set to hold closed-door talks on Kosovo's status, with most Western powers backing the Albanian-dominated region's drive for independence. Serbia has objected to the region's sovereignty, and offered Kosovo broad autonomy. A round of internationally mediated talks earlier this month failed to find a compromise

This is interesting, especially if Russia recognises their independance as retaliation for USA recognising Kosovo's independance. This is excellent news and shows that the Serb/Russian argument of ripple effects across globe is true.

What is happening there? All this talk about Ukraine and Georgia in NATO why not Moldova? I understand they have a Russian Communist for president, but last time I checked he was pro-West. Anybody has an idea?

You can have a look here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_VoroninLooks like he is neither Here nor There ;D! "Main goals of political agenda * Closer ties with the European Union;[citation needed] * Solving the Transnistria conflict; * NATO cooperation (without membership); * Friendship with Russia[11] and the restoration of the Soviet Union (the PCRM is part of the UCP-CPSU led by Gennady Zyuganov); * Independence, as opposed to a unification with Romania." |

Probably another disfunctional statelet something like Bosnia. I agree, Moldova is like Bosnia, an artificial state and a time bomb waiting to explode. Bosnia should be divided to serbia and croatia, but at the same time the muslims, which ever country they end up in, should be respected and their human rights should be respected. I see bosnia like a "mini yugoslavia" where "ethnic tensions" are starting to flare up and predict a war in the future - but thats a discusion for another time. I see moldova being in the spot light for two reasons, 1) its a country thats on a downwards spiral, albania has over taken it and now moldova is the poorest and worst place to love in europe. Secondly, when its time for NATO to consider Moldova to be in NATO, it will be like the geogrian situation. The Russians will intervine to support their side, and in the process involve the romanians. It would be great if Romania and Russia can work out a way to get their "share" of moldova preacefully, but i dont see that happening, hence the prediction of conflict in the future. |

Because they don't want to lose Transdinistria Transnistria is an independant nations much like kosovo, abkhazia and south ossetia, only recognized as de facto independant by russija. thats prolly why on a visit to Romania last summer, i wasnt allowed into Transniaistria. |

From Najwyższy Czas-NCZAS.COM, I heard that Russia wants Transdnistria and Moldavia to form a federation. The bigger problem in this affair for Russia is that the Romanians want to connect Moldavia to their country. Russia does not want a powerful Western yet Orthodox state. From the same article as the first sentence, Moldavia is not as poor as it seems. Under the Voronin government, the country has rebounded yet the Party stills rules absoiutely, At least they respect the Polish minority there and do not cover up its existence like the Ukrainians. The Romanians and Moldavians are good because they actually respect us in contrast to Lithuania Belarus and Ukraine. Russia is actually quite good with its Polish minority in Saint Petersburk.

Well perhaps it is harder to "cover up" a Slavic minority in a non-Slavic country/population as are the Moldovans/Romanians. |

This beautiful landlocked country, not even 20 years old but younger 18 years old has 2 younger brothers to grow up with, which are Abkhazia and South Ossetija. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObCN7eUGNQwthat video speaks more than i ever could. and these pictures of Tristapol, the capitol city are simple, and full of beauty. www.photo-tiraspol.com/main.phpwho here thinks that Transnistria sould be independant like Abkhazia and South Ossetia-? if KOSOVO of all places can achieve de facto from Srbija, then Transnistria sould from Moldova! I would also like to add that i got my passport renewd and i have ever intention to visit Transnistria myself within 2 months, all i haev to do is go to Moldova and cross the boarder into Transnistrian land. its that and 300 roubles later a simple task. |

MOldova and Romania have a rahter negative stereotype that there roma gypsies. true at some point in both Romania and Moldova's histories gypies originated from those 2 countries, but that problem is less apparent at this point in time and in history now in 2008. |
