Moldova (officially the Republic of Moldova,Romanian :Republica Moldova ) – landlocked country inEastern Europe , located betweenRomania to the west andUkraine to the north, east, and south. The capital city isChișinău . Moldova declared itself an independent state in 1991 as part of the dissolution of theSoviet Union (see also:Moldovan Declaration of Independence ).
Moldova is a parliamentary republic with apresident (Romanian :Președinte ) as head of state and aprime minister (Romanian :Prim ministru ) as head of government. A new constitution was adopted in 1994. A strip of Moldovan territory on the east bank of the river Dniester has been under the de facto control of the breakaway government ofTransnistria since 1990. As a result of a decrease in industrial and agricultural output since the dissolution of the Soviet Union (USSR), the relative size of the service sector inMoldova's economy has grown to dominate its GDP and currently stands at over 60%. Moldova remains, however, the poorest country inEurope .[citation needed ]
