DYNAMICS OF THE TRANSNISTRIAN REGULATORY PROCESS (JANUARY – DECEMBER 2018)

The resulting situation at the international as well as regional level has reactivated the foreign policy of the parties (Chisinau and Tiraspol), which reacted to the provocations and the threats of the diplomatic realities in the region. At the moment, the negotiation process is characterized by an activation of the peaceful resolution mechanisms of the Transnistrian issue. The dynamics of the dialog between Chisinau and Tiraspol is mostly due to the necessity of creating and applying the agreements established in the Vienna Protocol on November 27th -28th 2017. The regulation of the political problems between Chisinau and Tiraspol is related to the diplomatic capacity of the "5+2" format and is a very complex and long-term process. The uniqueness of the present situation is that for the first time there has been significant progress in the peace settlement of the Transnistrian conflict.
