History of Moldova and Belarus relations

The first Moldova-Belarus relations 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 12th 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 10th-11th centuries, part of Moldavian territories was in Kievan Rus' and Galician-Volhynian Principality. During 12th-13th centuries 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 14th century, the relations became active again. Modern Belarussian lands were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuanian, 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 peaceful relations".

In 1387 Moldavian boyars invited the Prince Yuriy Koriatovich, son of Lithuanian duke Karijotas, to rule the Moldavian Principality, but Yuriy was soon poisoned. In 1387, Moldavian gospodar Petru I Musat sworn to his vassal Yagaylo.
