The process of forming the pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic and its implications

Summary/Abstract: Since the secession of Transnistria in 1990 and creation of the independent Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic the legal status of the region has still remained unclear and ambiguous. On one hand it has been a de facto state for more than 25 years, while on the other hand its separation has not been commonly recognized by the international community yet. As a consequence, Transnistria is still formally treated as an autonomous region of a special status within the borders of the Republic of Moldova. The hereby paper is a certain starting phase of the research over the legal status of Transnistria and aims at deriving the genesis and evolution of its statehood. The subject of the work is the historical, formal and legal analysis of the process of forming an independent state, its development, as well as the implications and future perspectives, which might allow to make reliable conclusions concerning the region’s legal status in the further research stages.
