WARDEN MESSAGE – TRAVEL IN TRANSNISTRIA

Due to the recent trolley bus explosion in Tiraspol, the U.S. Embassy urges all U.S. Citizens to exercise additional caution for their travel to or through Transnistria. 

Americans are reminded that taking photographs in and around the vicinity of the security zone, peacekeeping posts, bridges, military installations and "official government buildings" is often considered to be prohibited by local and peacekeeping authorities, and in many of these locations, clear signs prohibiting photography are posted.  Throughout Transnistria, drivers should observe caution and avoid confrontations with local authorities.  Vehicles should adhere to STOP signs posted at/around all peacekeeping posts.  Finally, all travel within Transnistria should be concluded before dark. 

If you have any questions regarding travel to Transnistria please contact the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau.
