The 5+2 format of negotiation regarding the dispute over the Transnistrian zone of Republic of Moldova is a good framework for the Moldovan delegation to achieve the goal of reintegration of the country, in order to solve the frozen conflict (since 1992). However, the Moldovan negotiators faced yet a few major deficiencies. There is no a clear picture of the nature of the conflict: is it internal – a separatist one, or international – Russian-Moldovan (taking into account that the Russian army and the paramilitary forces of Cossacks where involved in 1992 war on Dniester river)? So, it was not clearly formulated the main question that needs to be answered as a solution to the conflict. Depending on the answer to this question the negotiation format can be improved in order to adopt a formula corresponding to the reality on the field: Russia can be a guarantor, not a mediator – which would be totally impartial. Another important aspect of the negotiation is that the conflicting parties (Chisinau and Tiraspol) have not identified yet common interests (and needs). Only in such conditions can the Moldovan integral state be restored and consolidated. In this context, it is understandable why until now there are no plans (projects) to solve the conflict, elaborated by Moldovan government servants; such documents could be a base for discussions in 5+2 format. It is important for the parties of the conflict to take into account that mediators do not propose plans to solve the conflict, because there is no such a function in their tasks, so there are not such expectations their behalf. The negotiation based on interests requires that the parties in conflict should accept objective criteria (primarily, the principles of international law), which could be a base for developing a lasting solution to the conflict. A feature of a negotiation based on interests is that parties should discuss on the issue, so this helps to avoid tension between negotiators, a confrontation of egos of representatives round the table. A good team of negotiators work with a few notions which are related among them. Especially in a negotiation on a territorial dispute, like on Transnistrian zone, it is important for the Governmental servants (diplomats or experts) to formulate and propose a mission of the common state – a project of the country, an idea of the common state. Form the mission results a vision on the development of the common state, based on the implementation of the common interests. From the vision there results a policy o reintegration. From the policy there results a strategy. From the strategy there results a tactic. And from the tactic there results a settlement plan. Of course, without each of these primary elements, a good settlement plan can not be elaborated.
