The Government of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic is the group of leaders in charge of Transnistria. Transnistria is a region that acts as its own country, even though most other nations in the world do not officially recognize it as one. This is known as being a de facto independent state.

How the Government Works

The government is the main team that runs the country day-to-day. This part of the government is called the executive branch.

In 2011, Transnistria changed its constitution, which is the main set of rules for the country. This change, which started on January 1, 2012, created the job of the Prime Minister. Before this, the President was directly in charge of all the government ministers.

Now, the government is led by the Prime Minister. It also includes deputy prime ministers, ministers who head different departments, and the leaders of Transnistria's cities and regions.

What Does the Government Do?

The government follows the rules set by the constitution and the laws passed by the Supreme Council (Transnistria's parliament). Its main jobs are:

  • Manages the Country's Money: It creates a plan for how to spend the nation's money (the budget) and presents it to the Supreme Council. It then makes sure the money is spent according to the plan.
  • Reports to the Supreme Council: It gives yearly reports about its work and answers questions from the Supreme Council.
  • Looks After People's Well-being: It makes sure there are good policies for schools, science, healthcare, and helping people in need. It also works to protect the environment.
  • Keeps the Country Safe: It is in charge of defending the country and making sure it is secure. It also manages relationships with other countries.
  • Upholds the Law: It works to make sure laws are followed, citizens' rights are protected, and crime is fought.
  • Other Duties: It carries out any other tasks given to it by the constitution, the laws, or the President.
