Transnistria - the separatist region of Moldova

The Transdniestria is internationally considered to be part of Moldova, and previously part of the Moldavian SSR, but has declared independence as the Transdniestrian Moldovan Republic or Transnistrian Moldovan Republic (TMR) (officially named Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic (Pridnestrovie) according to current "constitution"), with Tiraspol as its capital.

The last official data show a great ethnic diversity and a Romanian plurality of 40%.

The Russian authorities contributed both militarily and politically to the creation of a separatist regime in Transdniestria. The TMR remained under the effective authority, or at the very least under the decisive influence, of Russia, and in any event it survived by virtue of the military, economic, financial and political support that Russia gave it. Despite the Istanbul Agreement of 1999 Russia did not withdraw its military troops from Transnistria.

Transnistrian local authorities put obstructions to public mother tongue education for ethnic Moldovans in the Latin script, insisting that any public educational institutions teaching the language use the official Cyrillic alphabet.

Arbitrary arrests of citizens, especially of pro-Moldovan and pro-Romanian political views, have likewise been reported.
