The disputed status of Transnistria exists because of a 1991 claim by Moldova, which is rejected by Transnistria.

Moldova lost control of Transnistria in the 1990 War of Transnistria, but never formally ceded the territory. Moreover, Transnistria has not been internationally recognised (except by other unrecognised states) and is considered a part of Moldova.

Transnistria's two main political groups, Republic (Respublica) and Renewal (Obnovleniye) are opposed to any transfer of sovereignty to Moldova, and no major political party or pressure group in Transnistria supports union with Moldova. However, negotiations under OSCE auspices have been ongoing since 1997 based on the premise that better relations are desirable, and that the restrictions on communications, movement of people, and trade flows must be removed.
