Transnistria, a breakaway Moldovan province, began the “popular discussion” of the draft of its new Constitution, the referendum on which is expected by the end of this year. The new Constitution makes presidential power much stronger then now: according to it, the president appoints upper parliament chamber members, may dissolve the lower chamber, appoint local administration heads, top judges and the prime minister, etc. The drafters say they have used the Russian political system as a model. The Transnistrian authorities have declared that their main goal is to join Russia as a constituency.
