`, 4 January 2007 (UTC)  :: Here is a suggestion from me: ``A referendum was held on 17 September 2006 asking voters on whether they supported Transnistrian independence and closer ties to Russia or wished unite with Moldova. 97.1% voted yes to independence, and 94.6% rejected unification with Moldova. Russia's Duma[10] recognized the vote but the OSCE and many countries[11] did not.`` If it is made even shorter then the meaning is removed  21:42`
