The severe crisis which has lately marked the Russian-Ukrainian relations brought up again the so-called Transnistrian issue. More and more analysts, politicians, but also mere citizens living in this region or in its vicinity ask themselves what is going to happen to Transnistria in the futu re, as well as to the other separatist regions from the former Soviet space. In what way the conflict in Ukraine and the geopolitical and geostrategic interests lying behind it will affect the neighbouring states and the entire Europe? Different scenarios have been worked out, amid fears of rapid spreading of the separatism fever, cleverly encouraged, more or less veiled, by some leaders. Even if the consensus is lacking, onething is sure: we are witnesses and, with or without our will, participants to major and dramatic challenges on the world scene.
