Summary/Abstract: As we know, this process has last for middle 90’s of XXcentury. Many political scientists did their best tounderstand all tips of Transnistria, but it’s still ‘open’ anddisputable, because of lack of information.In 2018, after a long break, in the negotiation process onthe Transnistrian settlement, the parties managed toachieve some progress. An agreement was established onthe recognition of university diplomas issued inTransnistria; on cooperation in the field oftelecommunications; about neutral car rooms; resolvedcontroversies around schools that are under the jurisdictionof Chisinau. These agreements should seriously simplify thedaily life of people living on both banks of the Dniester andcreate prerequisites for their further convergence.At the same time, noting the progress in the negotiations, itshould be noted that there is no progress on the main issue- the achievement of a comprehensive settlement of theconflict.Moreover, today there is no settlement plan.This means that the main topic of negotiations is stillfrozen. And, it seems, this circumstance, to a greater orlesser extent, suits everyone.Perhaps the time has come when it is time to startdeveloping a new settlement plan.Without such a plan,minor and private issues can be discussed and consideredendlessly.
