Over the past 20 years a conflict reminiscent of the Cold War has raged on in Eastern Europe,
rarely making the headlines in the West. A source of regional insecurity and transnational
threats, the Transnistrian conflict remains a major issue for the European community. Although
considered “frozen,” the conflict between Moldova and its separatist region of Transnistria is a
real geopolitical challenge, with all attempts to terminate it ultimately resulting in failure. A
cause of this situation is that there is a tendency of the factors involved in resolving this
conflict to focus the main effort in finding solutions for the problem while neglecting to define the problem properly at the outset. This study suggests that this is the sine qua non precondition for resolving the problem, which in the case of the Transnistrian conflict is to determine the very nature of the conflict itself.
