Some excellent articles have appeared in the international press lately about relations between Romania and Moldova (a country we hope to Pocket soon) and the thorny issue of Transnistria. Here is my pick of the best:
EU visas for sale in Moldova (Tiraspol Times)
Moldova Diary (Economist web edition)
A Deal Over Transnistria (Economist print edition)
Happy reading.

Romania and Moldova

Visit PMR
I have a list of dream destinations for which In Your Pocket will one day publish guides. While Pyongyang tops the list, not too far down is Tiraspol, capital of Moldova's breakaway republic of Transnistria (sorry, Pridnestrovie, as it likes to be called. Names mean a lot in these parts.)
Until we do however, those of you planning on taking a holiday in this would-be country yet to be recognised by the international community will have to make do with the PMR's own travel site, Visit PMR. It isn't all that bad.
For a laugh, you can also try the propaganda-fest that is the breakaway republic's mouthpiece, the Tiraspol Times.
