Moldovan PM conveys message on 34 years since outbreak of Transnistria War
More than three decades have passed since the Transnistria War; yet, its lessons remain relevant: peace is fragile and we all share the responsibility to protect it. Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu today made statements to this effect, in the context of marking 34 years since the outbreak of the war on the Dniester.
“Peace unites us, just as we are united by the effort to leave our children a free, independent and prosperous Moldova,” the PM said.
The prime minister joined veterans, their families, representatives of state institutions and citizens in the March of Memory and Gratitude, and commemorated the heroes who lost their lives in the Transnistria War.
“We express our gratitude and honor the memory of those who defended, with immense sacrifices or even at the cost of their lives, the independence and integrity of Moldova 34 years ago. Together with veterans, their families, representatives of state institutions and citizens, we took part in the March of Memory and Gratitude, in order to pay tribute to our heroes, to reaffirm our commitment to peace and to the right to freely determine our destiny,” Alexandru Munteanu said.
On March 2, 2026, Moldovan marks 34 years since the beginning of the armed conflict on the Dniester, which lasted four months. It left a dark chapter in our country’s history. According to official data, more than 30,000 people took part in the conflict. Three hundred soldiers and civilians died and another 3,500 were wounded.
The ceasefire agreement was signed on July 21, 1992, after which political negotiations began to settle the Transnistrian dispute.
Under a decision of parliament, March 2 was declared the Day of Memory and Gratitude, established in memory of the heroes who fell in the battles of 1992.
