Moscow Agreement on Peace Settlement in Trans-Dniester

The Moscow Agreement established the framework for a peace settlement in the Trans-Dniester region of Moldova, which had been embroiled in armed conflict. The agreement aimed to halt hostilities and create conditions for a political resolution to the tensions between the Moldovan government and the self-proclaimed Transnistrian authorities. Following the signing of the agreement, the Russian military maintained a presence in the region, despite commitments to withdraw, which has been a point of contention between Moldova and Russia. The Moldovan government has consistently offered extensive autonomy to Transnistria, seeking to integrate the region while addressing the concerns of its residents. However, the ongoing military presence and the political status of Transnistria remain unresolved issues, complicating the peace process and the region's future governance.
