THE DANGER OF THE FEDERALIZATION OR "TRANSNISTRIZATION" OF THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

Abstract

The main purpose of the present analysis is to explain the federalization of the Republic of Moldova (RM) in the concept of the Russian Federation and what consequences it would possibly have for the RM. Also, to examine whether the federalization project is still possible at the moment and what are the positions towards it both of the RM and of the Russian Federation. We have in mind that the current president could reactivate the federalization file if he obtains the parliamentary majority in the 2018 elections. We point out that the federalization that is required for the RM is not the same as federalization in other European states such as Germany, Austria or Switzerland. The credibility of adopting this model in the case of the RM is doubtful given the conditions in which it was conceived from the very beginning. Federalization can not be a solution either to solve conflicts or to combat separatist tendencies, because it is only a form of state organization and nothing more.
