Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes policy of the European Union in relation to the Transnistrian conflict. Over the past years, the role of the EU in the Transnistrian settlement has significantly increased. The European Union is funding confidence-building measures. Transnistrian enterprises are admitted to trade with the EU countries under the Association Agreement between Moldova and the EU without changing their political status. This made it possible to change geography of Transnistrian exports. A separate direction is the implementation of the Berlin Protocol. However, so far these measures have not had a positive effect. People of Transnistria are still oriented towards Russia, and Moldova's reintegration has not been achieved.
