The
politics of Moldova takes place in a framework of a
parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the
prime minister is the
head of government and of a
multi-party system.
Executive power is exercised by the government.
Legislative power is vested in both the
government and parliament. The
judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. The position of the breakaway republic of
Transnistria, relations with
Romania, and
integration into the EU dominate the political agenda
