Silviu Andrieş-Tabac, "Introducere în heraldică. Noţiuni generale şi
întregiri la armorialul teritorial românesc" (Introduction to heraldry. General
concepts and completions to the Romanian territorial armorial), Editura
Universităţii din Bucureşti, Bucureşti, 2008, ISBN 978-973-737-443-1, reported
that between 1998 and 2003 the territory of the Republic of Moldova was divided
into 9, then 10 counties ("judeţ"), apart from the capital, Chisinau, and 2
autonomous units (Gagauzia and
Transdnistria).
The National Commission of
Heraldry of RM elaborated the coat of arms (2000) and flags (2001) of these
counties. The flags were conceived as to display the main colors and charges
of their respective coat of arms. The proportion of all the fields is 1:2, as
in the state flag.
