On September 22, 1990, in Moscow, Moldovan President Mircea Snegur and the Russian homologue – Boris
Eltsyn signed the Treaty on interstate relations between Federative Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia and Soviet
Socialist Republic of Moldova, treaty containing 23 articles of a epocal importance.
This treaty was fulfilling to establish a favorable political and economic conditions between the High Parties,
development of friendship and cooperation relations according to international law. The High Parties declared to
respect which other’s sovereignty, naot to attent to the rights of which other. Also, the treaty declared to establish
a mutual equality based relations between the High Parties.
On October, 1 of 1990, the Moldovan Parliament ratified the treaty almost unanimous,. Russian authorities,
due to Transnistria Region events of 1990 was not ratified the treaty, transforming, thereby, the treaty into a mean
of political and strategic pressure on Kishinev Government. Moreover, after involving of Russian 14 th army in
Transnistria military conflict of 1992, the question of ratifying this treaty, as well as normalizing bilateral relations
wasn’t a priority of both Governments.
A very important problem of bilateral relations constitutes the withdraw of Russian 14 th army, transformed in
1992 in Peace Corps in Transnistria Region of Moldova. The Convention of October, 21 of 1994 stipulated the
obligation of Russian part to withdraw it’s army in a delay of three years from the date of signing. Unfortunately,
until present, the Russian 14 th army is located, although reduced as military and human potential, in Transnistria
Region. Moldova rest, a country with great security and political problems especially from this point of view.
Despite the basic misunderstandings between Moldova and Russia, in 1995-1999 the bilateral relations were
determined by stability and constructive political development, according to that period Russian Ambassador in
Moldova – Alexandr Papkin. At this time both Russia and Moldova were decided to sign in 2000 a new Treaty on
bilateral relations, without any reference to 14 th army withdraw from Moldova. Moreover, in the early 2000 years
Russia, based on the political of Moldovan Communist Party-government party from 2001, was attempted to
regulate the Transnistria problem by the famous Kozak memorandum , proposed to Moldovan authorities in 2003
with reference to a future Moldova as a two-part federative state, represented by two equal subjects: Transnistria
and Moldova, without any reference to 14 th army withdraw, no guaranties of Moldova integrity in the future. As
result, Moldovan President – V. Voronin, rejected this plan, starting from 2003 the bilateral relations between Moldova
and Russia are in a very difficult period, Moldova being now interested more in ensuring it’s own integrity
and stability than to maintain some kind of privileged relations with Russia.
