Summary/Abstract: Every state which was founded and recognized according to international law and has obtained its independence and sovereignty has its right to existence. This truth refers to the Republic of Moldova as well. Moldova has declared its independence in August 1991. At the moment, it seems, nobody doubts that Republic of Moldova is an independent and sovereign state. However, the geopolitical debates regarding this space- Republic of Moldova, its prospects and future continue. So, the authors try to highlight some important issues as: dilemma of neighborhood and Europeanity for the Republic of Moldova; Republic of Moldova between East and West, between EU and Eurasian Union; Republic of Moldova as post-soviet space or European space; relations of the Republic of Moldova with its neighbours etc. The main conclusion of authors is that Republic of Moldova should develop as a European country despite the EU membership perspective by building a state based on European values and principles.
