Let's talk about Moldova. What do you know about this country?

The Republic of Moldova is a state located in southeastern Europe. It borders Romania to

the west and Ukraine to the north, east and south. The Republic of Moldova is a state
without direct access to the sea, but it has access to the Danube on a strip of 430 meters
at its southern extremity, through which it has potential access to the Black Sea. In the
process of dismembering the Soviet Union, the Republic of Moldova declared its
independence on August 27, 1991. On July 29, 1994, the first constitution of the Republic
of Moldova was adopted. The current relief of the Republic of Moldova is fragmented,
represented by a succession of plateaus and relatively low plains. The main mineral
substances extracted from the underground are the raw material for the construction
materials industry. In 2011, about 400 deposits of solid useful mineral substances were
registered, with industrial reserves of 400 million tons of gypsum, sand for glass, tripol,
diatomite, etc. and 1,500 million cubic meters of limestone, rough stone, clay. The soil is
the main natural wealth of the Republic of Moldova.

The Republic of Moldova is located in the area with temperate-continental climate,

influenced by the proximity to the Black Sea and the interference of warm-humid air in
the Mediterranean area, with insufficient humidity, which causes a high frequency of
droughts. The longest rivers are Nistru, Prut, Răut, Bâc, Botna, Ichel, Cogâlnic and Ialpug.
 The Republic of Moldova is a parliamentary republic with a president as head of state and
a prime minister as head of government.
