History of Moldavian and Belarussian relations

The first Moldo-Belarussian relatiosn are attested at the stage of formation of the respective ethnicities, when Slavs started settling the terriotries between Dniestr and Southern Bug. Chronicler Nestor, in the Primary Chronicle written in the XII century, spoke of Dregovichis, Krivichis and Radimichis who settled along Pripyat, Western Dvina and Sozha, as well as of Ulichis and Tiverians, living in the Dniestr neighborhood - as of one Slavic ethnicity. he also asserted that these tribes participated in the campaigns of Kievan Princes against Byzance in 944. In X-XI centuries, part of Moldavian territories was in Kievan Rus' and Galician-Volhynian Principality. During XII-XIII there was no strong connection between what is today modern Moldavia and Belarus, due to the Wallachian and Carpathian migration to Moldavia from one side, and due to the weakening of the Kievan Rus' from the other side, as well as repetitive invasions of Nomads.

In the second half of the XIV century, the relations became active again. Modern Belarussian lands were part of the Great Lithuanian Principality, whereas an independent Moldovan Principality was forming on the territory of the modern Moldavia. In the chronicles of the Lithuanian principality of that time, the Moldavian Principality appeared as "Voloshchina", "Voloshskoe Voevodstvo", with which Lithuanian Principality was in "cordial warm and preaceful relations".

In 1387 Moldavian boyars invited the Prince Yuriy Koriatovich to rule the Moldavian Principality. In 1387, Moldavian gospodar Petru I Musat sworn to his vassal Yagaylo.
