Summary/Abstract: On February 2nd, 2014, two referenda took place in the Administrative-Territorial Unit Gagauz-Yeri (UTAG Gagauzia) - one of consultative and the other one of “legislative” character. In the first case, the residents of Gagauzia were called to cast their votes over the foreign policy vector of the Republic of Moldova and namely, to say if they are in favour of the country joining the European Union or the Russia- Belorussia- Kazakhstan Customs Union. In the second case, the citizens of the region had to say if they agree that the Gagauz autonomy exercises its right to the external self-determination in case the Republic of Moldova loses its independence.
