Grigoriopol is located at 47°09′N 29°18′E / 47.150°N 29.300°E / 47.150; 29.300, in the South of Transnistria. Other large localities of the administrative region are Tashlyk and Malayeshty. In Transnistria, Tiraspol and Ribnita have large Russian-speaking populations, while Grigoriopol and Dubasari are inhabited mostly by Romanian-speakers.
In 1996 and in 2002 the town was the centre of a scandal regarding the attempts of local Moldovan inhabitants to use Romanian language and latin script in the Moldovan school, which is against the policy of the government of Transnistria. Transnistrian press attacked the intolerable tolerance of local authorities that allow "the fifth column of Moldova in Transnistria" to operate . The head of the Parent-Teacher association of the Moldovan school, Mihai Speian, was arrested by Transnistrian authorities in 28 August 2002. He was released in 12 September, following the protest of OSCE mission in Moldova. The school was moved to the village of Doroţcaia, which is in the area controlled by the Republic of Moldova.
