THE EUROPEAN UNION AND TRANSNISTRIAN CONFLICT: OLD APPROACHES AND NEW CHALLENGES
Journal Title: YEARBOOK OF THE LABORATORY FOR THE TRANSNISTRIAN CONFLICT ANALYSIS - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In 2017, 12 years have passed since the official participation of the European Union in the negotiation process between Moldova and Transnistria. The decision on the inclusion of official representatives of the European Union was taken at a meeting of the mediators from Ukraine, the Russian Federation and the OSCE with representatives of the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria (Odessa, September 26-27, 2005) The EU's participation in the settlement of regional, ethnopolitical conflicts is an integral part of foreign policy, as well as the overall security policy of Brussels. Undoubtedly, the approaches of Brussels in the settlement of conflicts in each specific case are of an individual character. At the same time, one cannot help but notice the lack of a consolidated approach by the EU countries on such issues as the development of military capabilities for conducting EU operations, their own vision of the development of the situation by each country that is a member of the European Union. These and a number of other factors, in many respects do not allow Brussels to effectively influence the conflicts, using the whole arsenal of military-political methods. In this regard, the natural question arises, how successful were the measures taken by the EU in the settlement of the Moldovan-Transniestrian conflict? Is Brussels able to act as an effective mediator of the conflict, in which the interests of not only the conflict parties but also the global players are colliding? The answers to these questions will at least make intermediate conclusions about the effectiveness of Brussels' policy in the settlement of the Moldovan-Transniestrian conflict and the need for its modernization.
