Abstract

It has always been said about these two states on both sides of the Prut, Romania and the Republic of Moldova, that they are sister countries, reliable partners on the sinuous road of their common history. From this direction, in the space of this article, we propose to analyze, from a parallel perspective, the administrative- territorial division of the Romanian national territory, on the one hand, and of the Moldovan one, on the other side, to identify similarities and differences between them. The research carried out in the pages of this paper has first shown the close location of these two territories; then the study highlighted the integration of both states into many international organizations, a difference being identified in the fact that Romania, unlike Moldova, is a member of the European Union; another difference is given by the fact that the county administrative-territorial unit does not meet on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, but for this level there is a division called rayon; we finally found that both states are divided into development regions for the implementation of the national regional development policy.
