[edit] Currently

Moldova is divided into 32 districts (Romanian: raioane, raions), 3 municipalities (Chişinău, Bălţi, and Bender (Tighina)[1]), one autonomous territorial unit (Gagauzia), and the territorial unit of Transnistria, the final status of which is yet unclear. The cities of Comrat and Tiraspol also have municipality status, but are not among first-tier units, i.e. are counted inside Gagauzia and Transnistria, respectively. The 32 districts (raions) are:

  1. Anenii Noi
  2. Basarabeasca
  3. Briceni
  4. Cahul, non-contiguous
  5. Cantemir
  6. Călăraşi
  7. Căuşeni
  8. Cimişlia
  9. Criuleni, non-contiguous
  10. Donduşeni
  11. Drochia

Transnistria, which with the exception of a few localities corresponds to the part of Moldova east of the Dniestr/Nistru River, is de jure a part of Moldova, although in reality it is not controlled by the Moldovan government. In addition, Tighina municipality and 3 communes of Căuşeni district, all situated in the security zone, are de facto controlled by the breakaway regime of Transnistria.
