Abstract
THE GEOPOLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FROZEN CONFLICT IN TRANSNISTRIA IS ENORMOUS, PARTICULARLY FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE BALANCE OF FORCES BETWEEN THE TRANSATLANTIC SPACE AND EURASIAN SPACE. THE SOLUTION TO THIS CONFLICT WILL HAVE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CONSEQUENCES FOR THE EUROPEAN SECURITY ARCHITECTURE, AND EVEN MORE. LEFT OUT FROM THE NEGOTIATION OF A CONFLICT WITHIN THE TERRITORY OF A REPUBLIC INHABITED BY A LARGE MAJORITY OF ROMANIAN NATIONALITY PEOPLE, ROMANIA CHARACTERIZED BY PRUDENCE AND RELUCTANCE T O VENTURESOME ACTIONS - CONTINUES TO ADOPT A POSITION OF WAIT AND SEE POLICY. SINCE THE ISSUE’S CENTER OF GRAVITY HAS BEEN SHIFTED TO THE DIPLOMATIC LEVEL – ALREADY FLOODED BY SIMILAR INITIATIVES – IT REQUIRES A VIABLE AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED SOLUTION. THIS WORK PRESENTS THE ROOTS, THE FIRST DIPLOMATIC APPROACHES AND THE MAIN INITIATIVES TO SOLVE THE FROZEN CONFLICT.
