Summary/Abstract: It has never been so close and at the same time it is still so far to achieve the dream of belonging to the European family for the Republic of Moldova. Emerging from the current geopolitical crisis caused by the military intervention in Ukraine by the forces of the Russian Federation, and the aggravation of the frozen conflict in the Transnistrian area draws the attention of the International Community more and more, namely the reactivation of the lever of influence with zonal geopolitical destabilization for the future of the project of European Integration. The study we proposed will focus on all the factors and solutions that will be able to help the Republic of Moldova in its navigation in these uncertainties of the current times. The Transnistrian problem becomes current again, namely due to the thawing and even sharpening of that cleavage between the area of influence in the region by the great superpowers, active actors in the redefinition of that new world order for which the geo-strategic military struggle is being waged. The European and the International Community do not stop encouraging the Pro-European movement of the Republic of Moldova, the European vector being that argument. Our study also has a pragmatic side arising from the reality we face.
