The most of the modern states, including the Republic of Moldova, are
poly-ethnic; according to their political forces it is necessary to solve the problem of formation
and realization of the internal policy reflecting interests and prospects each, from an ethnic
group occupying them. The political parties play a special role in this process, their variety on
the one hand displays ethnic diversity existing in a society, and on the nother they can influence
interethnic relations through the competent policy. During existence of Republic of Moldova as
an independent state a fairly rich experience of party?s ethno policy including both positive and
negative examples of influence of the parties on interethnic relations has been collected.
Experience of the developed European states has shown that overcoming of ethnic
discrimination in activity of parties became an important factor for harmonization of
interethnic relations in a society and the precondition of its progress in the future. Level of
representation of interests of various ethnic groups in the Moldavian society by political parties
and the outlined tendencies of development of parties? ethno policy allow us to draw a
conclusion on prospects of our state in this direction.
