The story behind the story is where it took place: The 90 minute historic (sort of) meeting between Vladimir Voronin and Igor Smirnov was held in a Transdniestrian government office in Bender, inside Transdniestria’s borders.

Check out the two flags in the background: The red and green of the PMR next to the yellow which is the city flag of pro-independence Bender.

No Moldovan flags in evidence anywhere, unless you count the little table thingie which Voronin brought with him (and took back with him when he returned to Moldova after the meeting). More here and here.
