Russia and Georgia have still not resolved their differences with respect to the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and there is a similar situation with the conflict over the Transnistria region, which has broken away from the Republic of Moldova. The European Union and Russia have very different interests in these conflicts, while the USA is also exerting its influence in these regions. It is difficult to find solutions to these conflicts because there are so many political players involved, each with different political and, above all, economic interests.
