The separatist region on the left bank of the Dniester River declared its independence on September 2, 1990, amidst the dissolution of the former USSR; however, this declaration was not recognized by any state, not even Russia, which still maintains troops on this territory, alongside a depot containing 20,000 tons of outdated weapons, and continues to exert control over the separatist regime in Tiraspol.

Facing a pronounced budget deficit each year, the region also survives by not paying for the Russian gas it consumes. The social and economic reintegration of the Transnistrian region has significantly accelerated over the past two years, as recently stated by the Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration, Oleg Serebrian, in an interview with Radio Moldova.

"At present, we are the ones who completely control the access of goods, people, and transit to the Transnistrian region," Serebrian added, noting that the reintegration process will be expedited.

It is worth noting that, in recent months, the process of reintegrating the Transnistrian region has seen a series of significant developments. The Moldovan government has adopted a new strategy to control trade and the flow of goods to the region, eliminating customs privileges.

The Moldovans we met while sending parcels to relatives abroad told us they included gifts: wine, fruit and sweets, so they could have a celebration like at home.
