Sokor is a very imaginative man... Nobody knows this plan, just he does. Living in Tiraspol i know only one way to decide this problem: if only Dniester republic (which has never been a part of Moldova excepting Stalin's era) will become a part of the Ukraine or Russia.

And the decision-making process regarding this matter is as flawed as ever! As I mentioned in my blog, the wider public hears the about this the last, indirectly and from unofficial sources. It is a very important issue, and not something for one person (particularly pressured by a heavy-weight such as Putin) to decide upon. It is, no doubt, a totally crazy plan.

Only time will tell. The Kremlin can barter when something important is at stake. Take for example Tartarstan. Along with Chechnya, both pushed for independence from the Kremlin. Tartarstan hammered out a deal (quite a fuzzy one in fact), Dudayev didn't, preferring to dissolve the parliament who were actually in favor of a deal, for his own 'I know best' opinions. Could the west offer a better deal? Well that might well depend on whether it was the EU or US involved. As for NATO, even NATO doesn't know what it is really for (or have all the reports over the years about retaining its 'credibility' no credibility???). A bad deal? Only time will tell.

I am sure similarly Russia could resolve with a single swipe the South Ossetian conflict, maybe even Abkhazian (would be harder though). As long as the deal takes the country back to USSR, it will work overnight. I had this gut feeling that when Russia wants, it can settle conflicts – at a high price for Moldova though.
