摘要：Recent developments in relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation are of
major interest for the international community. The way in which the two will cooperate in the context
of the Crimean crisis and in other issues related to the Eastern European space is very important not
only for them, but also for the other countries, which are find themselves at the confluence between
them, such as the Republic of Moldova. The role of the Republic of Moldova in securing stability and
peace in the region is growing, and with it, the responsibility of the Moldovan authorities to manage
their relations with the great powers is growing as well. The study aims to present the effect which
the relations between Moldova and the great powers have on its economy and future political
perspectives and their evolution in the context of recent events.
