Pridnestrovie’s future: Liberal economy, Freedom and security

  • Autor: Roman Konoplev, 15.09.2010

Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublica is going to celebrate its 20 anniversary since it declared independence. The people who created the republic in a nation-wide unity became disappointed by the situation in Pridnestrovie today, after they devolved power on the leaders of the country. Many things happened since 1990. There was a military conflict with Moldova in 1991-1992, a transition to market economy and serious transformations…

Carpathian Ruthenia or a new neighbour on the horizon?

  • Autor: Michal Ondrejčík, 01.08.2010

In the following lines I shall speak of a republic which strives to compete with Ukrainian power in the Zakarpattia Oblast. The reason for its origin is the fact that since 1991 Ukraine has been ignoring the requests of Carpathian Rusyns, who supported the status of a special self-governing administrative territory in the 1991 referendum by 78.2 percent of votes. This autonomy of Carpathian Rusyns…

Quo vadis Pridnestrovie?

  • Autor: Michal Ondrejčík, 21.02.2010

In the following lines Iʼm going to deal with a republic which you wonʼt find in any political map of the world, definitely not on such a map which was printed in Chisinau. Iʼm talking about Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic (hereinafter “PMR” or “Pridnestrovie”), which is called by Moldovan nationalists, who don’t know their own history, “Transnistria”, or rather, they name it indefinitely – “eastern provinces”…

Gas conflict between Russia and Ukraine and its impact on the energy policy of Poland

  • Autor: Juraj Marušiak, 09.02.2009

Poland has been covering the majority, almost three quarters, of its earth gas consumption by supplies from the gas pipeline Yamal. Only the remaining third of raw material supply flows through Ukrainian gas pipelines. Therefore the cut of gas supplies for Ukraine, which the Russian concern Gazprom carried out in January 2009, didn’t have such an impact on Polish economy as on other countries dependent on Russian energy material supplies…

Repeated dispute over earth gas between Ukraine and the Russian Federation

  • Autor: Peter Ševce, 09.01.2009

Like in recent years, relations between the Russian Federation (RF) and Ukraine ended in stalemate also this time at the turn of years. This yearʼs earth gas dispute has been lasting the longest and is at the same time the most dramatic one. Concurrently, itʼs marked by traditional statements about both sides fulfilling their commitments to consumers and blaming each other. The perfect image of relations is completed by the gas volume flowing into consumer countries because this isn’t agreed on contractually…

EU Eastern Partnership as an Inducement for New Member States

  • Autor: Juraj Marušiak, 02.08.2008

Although the concept of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) remains the primary framework regulating policy of the European Union (EU) towards neighbour states, a French initiative of Mediterranian Union and a Polish-Swedish project of Eastern Partnership represent important changes in this concept. The emergence of ENP required enlargement of the EU in 2004, when countries…

Ukrainian entry into NATO is advantageous also for Russia. The interview with the Ukrainian Ambassador to the Slovak Republic Inna Ohnivets

Ukrainian “Prime Minister game” to be continued

  • Autor: Juraj Marušiak, 14.12.2007

The Supreme Council is supposed to re-vote on the nomination of Yulia Tymoshenko as the Prime Minister. The early parliamentary elections held in the end of September haven’t born any solution to the long-lasting political stalemate. The election results confirmed that nowadays, no political force is capable of ruling on its own without any general consensus. This holds true for the Party of Regions, headed by the PM…
