Since 2014 when the Association Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova was signed, a shift of Transnistria business from the Russian and CSI markets to the EU one is noticed. The Association Agreement impacted the preferences of Transnistria migrants from Russia to countries such as Italy, Germany, Great Britain, and Poland by offering a visa free status to Transnistria inhabitants with the Republic of Moldova\u2019s passports. International factors such as Russian annexation of Crimea and its full-scale invasion of Ukraine has continued this trend contributing to the de-isolation of the unrecognized Transnistria region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Transnistria is known as a being a \u201cRussian client\u201d and part of the Russian \u201ccivilizational space\u201d. Its population has been exposed for decades to the Russian policy of \u201ccompatriots\u201d. Based on these arguments, the discussion will explore the EU engagement without recognition policy\u2019s impact on the foreign policy of the region and its population.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through close examination of local media outlets, available migration data and in-site research, the author seeks to understand <\/span>how<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>if <\/span><\/i>the sense of belonging to the Russian \u201ccivilizational space\u201d is shaped when interacting with European values and culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
