Period of Formation and Final Establishment of the Independent Medieval State of Moldova

(14th – 15th centuries)

The geographical location of Moldova at the crossroads between the East and the West, between the North and the South, and on the border between Catholicism and Orthodoxy led to a rivalry on the part of the neighbouring kingdoms – Poland and Hungary.

In terms of internal affairs of the State, it should be noted the establishment of state machinery, minting of the first local coins, final determination of the state frontiers, and establishment of the independent Metropolitan church of Moldova.
