Efter the dissolution of the Soviet Union, tensions atween the Moldovan government an the breakaway unrecognized state's authorities in Tiraspol escalatit intae a military conflict that stairtit in Mairch 1992 an wis concludit bi a ceasefire in Julie 1992. As pairt o that agreement, a three-pairty (Roushie, Moldovae, Transnistrie) Joint Control Commission supervises the security arrangements in the demilitarized zone, comprisin 20 localities on baith sides o the river. Although the ceasefire haes held, the territory's poleetical status remains unresolved: commonly considered De jure pairt o Moldovae, Transnistrie is a de facto independent state.[9][10][11][12] It is organized as a presidential republic, wi its awn government, parliament, military, polis, postal seestem, an currency. Its authorities hae adoptit a constitution, banner, naitional anthem, an a coat o airms. Housomeivver, follaein a 2005 agreement atween Moldovae an Ukraine, aw Transnistrian companies seekin tae export guids through the Ukrainian border must be registered wi the Moldovan authorities.[13] This agreement wis implementit efter EUBAM stairtit its activity in 2006. Maist Transnistrians are Moldovan citizens,[14] but there are forby mony Transnistrians wi Roushie an Ukrainian citizenship.

Transnistria is sometimes compared wi ither post-Soviet frozen conflict zones such as Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazie, an Sooth Ossetie.[15][16] The latter twae hae recognised Transnistrie as an independent state an hae established diplomatic relations in return for Transnistrie's recognition o them (see Community for Democracy an Richts o Naitions).[17]
