After settling in, you will enjoy the city tour of Chisinau. During the tour, you will discover the main historical and cultural sights such as the Nativity of Christ Cathedral, the Bell Tower, the Arch of Triumph, the Monument of Stephen the Great, etc. You will also see some soviet buildings and apartment blocks, such as Circus building, Romanita Collective Housing Tower, Library din Hol, Soviet Memorial to Communist Youth, Chisinau Hotel (an excellent example of Stalinist Empire style architecture), etc. After lunch, you will have an excursion at the Eternity Memorial Complex and the Military Museum. The Eternity Memorial Complex is a memorial located in Chisinau dedicated to soviet soldiers who died in the battles of the Second World War. The Military Museum has displays of Moldova's past military campaigns and, in a park outside, a small open-air military exhibition displaying Soviet- made tanks, fighter planes and other military toys inherited by Moldova's armed forces. Next, you will have an excursion at Chisinau Railway Station built on 15 August 1871. The 2nd World War destroyed the station building, as it was blown up by the Red army in 1941. It was partially restored in 1944, but air attacks destroyed it once again. In 1948, the station was rebuilt. In 1990 at the Station’s Square there was unveiled a temporary stone commemorating the Victims of Stalinist Repression and mass deportations in Soviet Moldova in 1940-1951 - the Train of Pain.

  • Country Profiles on Housing and Land Management
    INTRODUCTION The Republic of Moldova is a landlocked country covering a territory of 33,800 km2. It is bordered on the west by Romania and on the north, east and south by the Ukraine (Annex I). The Prut River runs along the entire western boundary with Romania, while the Nistru River forms part of the eastern boundary with the Ukraine and separates it from Transnistria. The country’s southern border extends almost to the Black Sea, making it one of the countries located in the Black Sea Basin. The country’s proximity to the Black Sea gives it a temperate-continental climate. It has moderate winters and warm summers. Three quarters of its territory is covered with the rich, black soil called “chernozem”, which is ideal for agriculture. The landscape is characterized by hilly plains with many streams and rivers cutting through them. Government structure and political system The Republic of Moldova is a democratic and unitary State. Its Government is made up of three authorities: legislative, executive and judicial. The Parliament is the legislative authority and passes laws, decisions and motions; declares referendums; and approves and controls the national budget. The executive branch consists of the President and the Government. The President is the head of the State and is elected by the Parliament. The Government is the executive authority. It is led by a Prime Minister, who is appointed by the President with the approval of the Parliament. The Government carries out domestic and foreign policy. Judicial authority is exercised by the courts of law, namely by the Supreme Court of Justice, the Court of Appeal and other courts of law.

  • Information Report on Elections in the Popular Assembly of the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia, Republic of Moldova (20 November 2016)
    32nd SESSION Report CPR32(2017)02 13 March 2017 Information report on elections in the Popular Assembly of the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia, Republic of Moldova (20 November 2016) Monitoring Committee Rapporteur:1 Sevdia UGREKHELIDZE, Georgia (R, EPP/CCE) Summary Following the invitation of the President of the Central Election Commission of the Republic of Moldova, a Congress delegation carried out an electoral assessment mission of limited scope in the Autonomous Territorial Unit (ATU) of Gagauzia. Elections for the Popular Assembly of the Regions were held on 20 November 2016. The 2016 elections for the Popular Assembly was the first vote to be held under the new Electoral Code of ATU Gagauzia adopted in 2015. The new legal framework was generally well implemented on Election Day, which was held in an overall calm and orderly manner. The Congress delegation was able to visit some twenty polling stations in the three electoral districts and observed voting and parts of the counting process. The improved quality of voters lists, the level of preparation of the election administration as well as investigations into violations of the legislation constitute important elements of progress with regard to electoral processes in the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia. The Congress also welcomes the ban on foreign funds for campaign purposes as well as the establishment of the Central Election Commission of ATU Gagauzia as a permanent body. However, the Congress delegation heard allegations concerning recurring issues related to vote buying, the misuse of administrative resources and the lack of a real level playing field for all candidates, in particular in the media.

  • Mobilization of Non-Titular Ethnicities During the Last Years of the Soviet Union: Gagauzia, Transnistria, and the Lithuanian Poles
    Acta Slavica Iaponica, Tomus 26, pp. 141‒157 Mobilization of Non-titular Ethnicities during the Last Years of the Soviet Union: Gagauzia, Transnistria, and the Lithuanian Poles SATO Keiji Post-Soviet states spent their formative years in a struggle for statehood. The emergence of unrecognized states is one of the most extreme examples of this struggle. Four secessionist polities, Nagorno-Karabakh, Transnistria, Ab- khazia, and South Ossetia, have gained de facto independence from their host countries, but their independence has not been recognized by the international community, and confrontations with the host states continue.1 Diplomatic ini- tiatives have barely produced feasible solutions, but, on the other hand, mas- sive bloodshed had not occurred after the ceasefires in 1992–94 until the South Ossetian War in August 2008. The international community, including influ- ential powers, then lost interest in these conflicts, which began to be regarded as “frozen and forgotten.”2 However, the South Ossetian War demonstrated that these conflicts could be “unfrozen” at any moment and, therefore, should not be “forgotten.” The unrecognized states in post-Soviet territories originated from non- titular3 ethnicities’ collective actions targeted at defending their culture and language. For this purpose, they tried to strengthen or even create anew a territorial autonomy, which they regarded as the most reliable legal guarantee against titular groups’ assimilative policy.4 One might find this motivation in a number of “hot points” in the late-Perestroika Soviet Union: Abkhazia and South Ossetia of Georgia, Crimea of Ukraine, Transnistria and Gagauzia of Moldova, the “Polish” districts of Lithuania, and the Narva-Sillamae region of Estonia.
