Since you mention Georgia, it will also be interesting to see whether Russia or Spain will recognise Kosovo now.

As for Moldova, there doesn't seem to be much appetite fore reunification with Romania. Oh, wait, you were talking about Transdnistria... It gets so confusing...

I don't see immediate reaction given the persisting mistrust between the sides. Russians think of the West as treacherous (by history of making and breaking promises) so Russians will block international recognition of Kosovo until the West recognize Russian protectorates. The West meanwhile doesn't think it needs Russian recognition too much while support for "territorial integrity" of some states is purely political if not rhetorical. So expect status quo to continue.
