Moldavsko

Moldavsko is a term that can refer to several entities, primarily the country of Moldova and, historically, the geographical region of Moldavia.

The country of Moldova is an independent nation situated in Eastern Europe. It is a landlocked country bordered by Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east, and south. Its capital and largest city is Chișinău. Moldova declared its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The official language is Romanian, often referred to as Moldovan in the country. The economy is largely based on agriculture, with wine production being a significant export.

Historically, Moldavia (Moldavia) was a principality that existed from the 14th century until the 19th century. It encompassed the territories that now form the independent country of Moldova, as well as parts of northeastern Romania and a small portion of Ukraine. The region's history is marked by periods of autonomy, foreign domination, and eventual division. The western part of historical Moldavia eventually united with Wallachia to form modern Romania, while the eastern part became the Bessarabia Governorate of the Russian Empire, which later formed the basis for the Soviet republic and then the independent country of Moldova.

The term "Moldavsko" is the Slavic exonym for Moldova, and is sometimes used in some Slavic languages to refer to the country. It is important to distinguish between the modern nation-state and the historical region when encountering the term.
