Moldova
Index
On July 28, 1994, the Moldovan Parliament approved a
new
constitution, declaring Moldova a republic, which went
into
effect August 27, 1994. Moldova's previous constitution
was that
of the old Moldavian SSR (1979), with amendments. The new
document defines Moldova as an independent, democratic,
"single"
state and declares the country's permanent neutrality. The
Moldovan language, written in the Latin script, is
designated as
the official language, but guarantees are made for the use
of
Russian and other languages. The new constitution includes
a ban
on the stationing of foreign troops on Moldova's
territory.
