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.
