Transnistria conflict enters new phase - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
Moldova has unveiled a quiet but significant shift in its approach to Transnistria – and it’s already raising questions in Brussels. A leaked non-paper outlines a reintegration strategy that sidelines Russia, deprioritises negotiations, and leans heavily on Western involvement. But behind the technical language lies a deeper signal about responsibility, timing, and political will. Is Chișinău offering a credible roadmap or testing how far its partners are willing to go? In this episode of Eastern Express, we break down what this plan really means for Moldova, the EU, and the future of the conflict.
