Moldova has unveiled a quiet but significant shift in its approach to Transnistria – and it’s already raising questions in Brussels. A leaked non-paper outlines a reintegration strategy that sidelines Russia, deprioritises negotiations, and leans heavily on Western involvement. But behind the technical language lies a deeper signal about responsibility, timing, and political will. Is Chișinău offering a credible roadmap or testing how far its partners are willing to go?
