The main issue of the paper is the security and the juridical statute of the separatist territory of the Republic of Moldova – Transnistria. Despite of the stance of the international community, Transnistria decided to defend its disputable independence with the support of the Russian Federation. Transnistria is presented as a specifi c unit which can be called quasi-state. The specifi cs of the statehood of this “state” is typical for other similar examples such as Kosovo or South Ossetia, which lack the international recognition of sovereignty. Authors of the article discuss the main problems of the security and international relationship between the Republic of Moldova, Transnistria, the Russian Federation, NATO and OSCE, and introduce the scenarios of the future evolution of confl ict in the region and the status of Transnistria.
