'''Transnistria''' is a disputed region in [[Eastern Europe]]. It declared independency in 1990, but it was never recognized as a sovereign country. Transnistria is located mostly in a strip between the Dniester River and [[Ukraine]]. [[Moldova]] is on the other side of the river Dniester but considers Transnistria as their own territory.
Hitchhiking is common in Transnistria, it has similar conditions as in other places of former URSS<!--is it really? didn't get the impression at all.-->. Thus On the main roads, there is a lot of buses (''marshrutkas'') which are very very cheap so that many drivers won't understand why you should hitchhike or might not have problems on even know the roadconcept. As a precaution, still, would be recommended to avoid the policemen, if possible. Also, keep in mind that according to Transnsitrian rules you can not stay other the night there, and if you stay you have to go to register at the police section beforehandif you stay for more than 24 hours.
==Legally stay in Transnistria==
== Crossing borders ==
* From Ukraine: Coming from Odessa, you have to take care which border crossing to take when getting into Moldova. At Transnistrian border checkpoints you won't get an entry stamp for Moldova, which could cause lots of problems when leaving the country. According to locals and personal experience however, the missing entry stamp is not an issue. Also the Ministry of Information told likewise. You will have an Ukrainian exit stamp, so your path of travel will be obvious. You can also get your missing stamp from the authorities in Kishinew. Border crossings have to be negotiated in Russian.
