But in reality, people who live in Moldova have to pass through customs in order to reach Transnistria. The customs procedures are simple and fast, but, in fact, not pleasant when you consider yourself a citizen of a unified country. The Wikipedia article reflects many aspects of this "region". I can add that there are always politic disputes and propaganda between parts. The propaganda "has more height" from the Transnistria side, because it's considered by them that the war was started by moldavian part, although it was not. If you would listen to Transnistria's official radio station you would be surprised about these permanent discussions. The Transnistria problem is unsolvable because there are russian, ukrainian and moldavian interests. In different times this problem tried to solve the EU, but with no results. If you have some certain questions - ask. P.S. I'm from Moldova.

I'd be interested to know more about your country -- I have some Romanian friends from Moldavia, and this is the closest access I have to knowing Moldovans. Tell me more! What's it like, what are the tensions between countries like, what is the situation with Transnistria? I really don't know much except from some websites I have read (which are mostly Transnistrian propaganda, it seems) so your views are welcome.

My mother's uncle lives in Transnistria with his family and we see each other pretty often. In your description you haven't mentioned a lot of things in order for the readers to understand correctly what Moldova and Transnistria is. You were right that Transnistria was never part of Moldova, but this doesn't mean it shouldn't be a part of it now. You should research what happened during and after WW2 and you will understand that Transnistria is a legal part of Moldova. You also described Moldova as a place where you will find only trouble, a fact that is not true at all. Moldovian people are very hospitable and hardworking. There are not a lot of places that attract tourists but if you will visit Moldova, then believe me it will be a trip you will never forget. I am very sad that the only thing people know about my country is the Transnistrian conflict and other horrible facts that you mentioned above...
