The Transnistrian Demilitarization in the Context of the Remodeling military-strategic Balance in Europe - Țugui, Eduard (IDIS VIITORUL Institutul pentru Dezoltare si Initiative Sociale, 2011)
The new Russian-American Treaty for nuclear disarmament START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) III, entered into force on 5 February 2011, together with the change of its ratification instruments between the heads of delega¬tions from the two countries. The Russian-American Agreement, signed on 8 April 2010 in Prague by B. Obama and D. Medvedev, modifies the parameters of international and continental security, as it aims a 30% reduction of nuclear-strategic arsenals and binds their nuclear offensive capabilities of American Missile Shield, which is expected to be installed in Eastern Europe. Signing and ratifying of a document that provides strategic nuclear arms reduction caused talks and negotiations about simultaneous reduction of the tactical nuclear arms and the control of the conventional arms in Europe. These are processes with direct impact on the security of the Republic of Moldova and therefore require an attitude, especially due to the fact that on the provisions of a (potential) new Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) depends largely the demilitarization of the Transnistrian region
