Moldova To Join Transnistria?
Moldova and Transnistria is to be reunited soon. Russia want Moldova to reject NATO and distance itself from GUAM.
Kommersant: Russia Reunites Moldova from NATO
 May 16, 2008
Moscow is preparing to reunite the divided country with the breakaway republic of Transdniestria. If it succeeds, it will show the world that not
joining NATO is the direct course to territorial integrity.
[---]
Moscow expects Chisinau to reinforce its neutrality. Neutrality is written into the Moldovan Constitution, but Moscow wants a guarantee that Moldova
will not join NATO. Moscow also wants Moldova to distance itself from the GUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova) organization, which is not
friendly to Russia. Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
Seems like a case of Moldova joining Transnistria, and not the other way around. I wonder whether Chişinău (Кишинёв) will remain as the
capital city of Moldova, or perhaps it'll be moved to Tiraspol (Тираспол)?

necessarily by Moldova or Russia, but by Tiraspol itself...
Frozen conflicts should be discussed simultaneously by the
UN Security Council
2008-09-11
All frozen conflicts in the Black Sea and Balkan region should be put back on the United Nations’ Security Council and should be discussed
simultaneously, and negotiation and peacekeeping mechanisms must be changed because the situation is very serious, said President Traian Basescu
during a show on the public television on Tuesday evening.

He warned that a crisis such as the one triggered in South Ossetia and Abkhazia could be triggered at any moment and not necessarily by Chisinau or
Kremlin authorities, but by Tiraspol itself and this is why he asked the EU to dedicate a special chapter of discussions to Moldova at its October
summit. Please visit the link provided for the complete story.

Here's an interesting documentary on Transnistria. It's not new, but with the new situation in Georgia in mind... It's almost 26 minutes long. No
mention of Lebed's suitcase nukes, but they mention the alazan rockets
