OSCE MISSION, PARTNER IN IMPLEMENTING EUROPEAN REFORMS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA. THE REFORM OF THE MOLDOVAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: In the dismemberment process of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Moldova declared its independence on 27 August 1991. Having aspirations for European values andbeing in a situation where, starting with 1990, the territory located on the east bank ofDniester river is under de facto control of the separatist regime from Transnistria, the newRepublic lays the foundations for an agreement with the Organization for Security andCooperation in Europe (OSCE), one of the most important security organizations on theinternational scene. The article analyzes how the OSCE field Mission has supported theevolution of the State’s democratization and compliance with human rights, by ensuring theright to a fair trial and ensuring the conditions of detention in prisons. The conclusion is that,although important steps have been taken towards Europe, the current context makes theaccession of the Republic of Moldova to the European Union unlikely.
