Tighina County

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tighina County was, until February 2003, a major subdivision (Judeţ) of Moldova with its capital at Căuşeni. It bordered Ukraine, Transnistria, Lăpuşna County and Chişinău County.

Major cities in the county included Bender, Cainari, Căuşeni, Olăneşti, and Ştefan Vodă.

Currently, the city Bender and six villages are in the neutral zone under the authority of the Joint Control Commission, but are administered by authorities subordinated to the breakaway territory of Transnistria.
