In the following lines Iʼm going to deal with a republic which you wonʼt find in any political map of the world, definitely not on such a map which was printed in Chisinau. Iʼm talking about Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic (hereinafter "PMR” or "Pridnestrovie”), which is called by Moldovan nationalists, who don't know their own history, "Transnistria”, or rather, they name it indefinitely "eastern provinces”. It was founded by the Russians, Ukrainians, Moldovans and...

The upcoming developments in the peace-talks between the two Cypriot communities' representatives, i.e. Dimitris Christofias and Mehmet Ali Talat, will have a significant impact on the future of the divided Mediterranean island as well as on the accession process of Turkey to the EU. All parties involved in the "Cyprus Turkey EU” triangle eagerly waited for the conclusions of the EU's General Affairs Council and Foreign Affairs Council held in December 2009...

| Restart, time out or draw? Obamas visit to Moscow and its implications for the post-Soviet room |
| Juraj Maruiak | 14.07.2009

|
The visit of US President Barack Obama to Moscow evoked mild optimism. If we take into account that during the era of President George Bush Jr. the relations between Russia and the US were at freezing point, then any shift in the tone of US policy must have been more than welcomed since the US approached Russia as well as own allies as the "younger brother”. An important change, which needn't be just symbolic, is the very change of atmosphere. In contrast to President Bush,...

| Gas conflict between Russia and Ukraine and its impact on the energy policy of Poland |
| Juraj Maruiak | 08.02.2009
|
|
|
|
Poland has been covering the majority, almost three quarters, of its earth gas consumption by supplies from the gas pipeline Yamal. Only the remaining third of raw material supply flows through Ukrainian gas pipelines. Therefore the cut of gas supplies for Ukraine, which the Russian concern Gazprom carried out in January 2009, didn't have such an impact on Polish economy as on other countries dependent on Russian energy material supplies, for instance, Bulgaria and Slovakia...
