Autonomous territorial unit
An autonomous territorial unit (ATU; Romanian: Unitate teritorială autonomă, UTA) is an administrative division of Moldova. Originally, Gagauzia was the only such unit.[1] In 2005, Moldovan law also recognized the Administrative-Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Dniester.[2] De facto, the latter is a self-proclaimed state operating outside the jurisdiction of the Moldovan government as the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR, commonly known as Transnistria).
