28 Dec 2006  On 27 December, the President of Pridnestrovie (PMR), Igor Smirnov, signed the law passed by the Supreme Soviet on 20 December, making January 2nd, every year, a nonworking holiday. The law comes into effect as of January 1st, 2007. • More News Updates For the full version of the summarized news items above, and older news items not displayed above, go to the Transdniestria public holidays news and updates page, or worldwide public holidays news and updates page, or subscribe to one of our free email newsletters.

Transdniestria's official name is Pridnestrovie (short form) or Pridnestrovskaia Moldavskaia Respublica (long form). The abbreviation PMR is also commonly used. • Transdniestria is one of the western name variants most commonly encountered in the western press, as well as Transdnistria, Transdniestr, Trans-Dniestria, Transdniester, Transniestria. The use of these, particularly Transnistria, is discouraged by local sources . • All the listed public holidays, except for Orthodox Christmas, Orthodox Easter, and Commemoration Day, are specified in Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Pridnestrian Moldavian Republic. Although these three Orthodox holidays are not in the official labor code's list of public holidays, around 80% of the population celebrate Christmas and Easter actively, and all businesses close, just like government offices and banks. So these dates can be considered regular public holidays. • Constitution Day (December 24) refers to the second constitution approved in a nationwide referendum on December 24, 1995. The first constitution was adopted in 1991, following the 2 September 1990 declaration of independence (the origin of Independence Day). • The Constitution of Pridnestrovie declares three official languages: Moldovan, Russian and Ukrainian. In practice, however, everyone speaks Russian either as their first or second language, as it is the informal language of inter-ethnic communication. • Although de facto independent since 1990, Pridnestrovie's legal independence is not recognized by most international organizations. • Other Sources of Information For information not covered here, see the following specialized websites: ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (maps, demographic and economic statistics), Copp Clark (financial markets' trading hours, settlement holidays and currency non-clearing days), and the IFES Election Guide (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and past voter participation).
