Political activity
Mițul was a participant in the 1992 War of Transnistria on behalf of Moldovan governmental forces. He is the mayor of Corjova village, considered by separatist authorities as a suburb of Dubăsari.
As result of his opposition to authorities from Tiraspol, he was arrested several times by Transnistrian police, most recently on 13 May 2007.[2]
