Message: <blockquote data-quote="A Man Called Charolais" data-source="post: 80446">Transnistria is a part of Moldova, not Romania.  The prospect of EU membership will probably relax any calls for the incorporation of Moldova into Romania.  The era of unrestricted Russian mafia activity is in the past.  It's not the case that such entities can be used as a foreign policy weapon by Moscow to sow chaos on the borders.  The Gangster Baronies will come to an end sooner or later and the easy trade in contraband and women stopped.  Transnistria is on the table.'Russia’s seizure of Crimea in 2014 has already shaken up this long-dormant situation for Transnistria. Though Transnistrian politicians have openly called on Russia to annex them, there appears to be little appetite <a href="https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/transnistria-is-bridge-too-far-for-russia/" target="_blank">for the prospect in Moscow</a>. But Ukrainian crackdowns on smuggling and corruption after 2019 have upset the delicate balance that supported Transnistria, <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/06/05/transnistria-isnt-the-smugglers-paradise-it-used-to-be-sheriff-moldova-ukraine-tiraspol/" target="_blank">dealing a heavy blow to the illicit trade </a>that dominates the breakaway republic’s economy.'<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/04/28/transnistria-attacks-russia-ukraine-moldova/" target="_blank">Mysterious attacks in Transnistria add further intrigue to Ukraine war - Washington Post</a>There's no talking sense about events in the former Yugoslavia - it's the Balkans.  I'm not a fan of Kosova, seems like a miserable place that you wouldn't want to have a flat tire in.  The Serbs are doing better now than they were under the Bibi of the nineties.</blockquote>
