Overview of your Chisinau tour:

This tour will take you to a strange, unrecognised region of Transnistria that broke away from Moldova under tense circumstances in 1990. Despite their attempts to become a recognized country, the region has not been granted that status either by the international community or Russia in spite of the fact that 65% of the population are Russian speakers. Since the short, but bloody military conflict between Transnistria and Moldova in1992 things have been rather quiet which allows us to call it "a frozen conflict". De-Jure this country doesn't exist, but de-Facto it does as it has its own institutions of governance, such as President, Parliament, Ministries, money (Trans. ruble). There is a checkpoint between Moldova and Transnistria: your passport WILL NOT get stamped. We will also visit Bender fortress. This tour gives an ample picture of the region to those who want to see Soviet architecture, get the feel of the USSR! No photography is allowed on the border, on the bridge, close to military installations,
