Administrative divisions of Moldova
Encyclopedia
Currently, Moldova
is divided into 37 first-tier units, including 32 districts ' onMouseout='HidePop("97745")' href="/topics/Raion">raion
s):
three municipalities:
one autonomous territorial unit:
and one territorial unit:
The final status of the latter has not been settled yet, as the region, such as defined administratively, is not under the control of Moldovan authorities. The cities of Comrat
and Tiraspol
also have municipality status, but are not among first-tier units of Moldova; they are the seats of Gagauzia
and Transnistria
, respectively.
The status of Chişinău, Bălţi, and Bender as municipalities and first-level territorial units of the country allows their suburb villages to have, when large enough, their own mayor and local council. By contrast, the villages that are administratively part of (some of) the other cities do not retain self-rule.
In 2003, just before the abolition of the county system, a Taraclia County was split out from the Cahul County
; it coincides with the current Taraclia district.
