The Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova, together with the embassies of the EU Member States, is marking Europe Day 2023 through a series of cultural, interactive, and educational events in various regions of the Republic of Moldova.
Under the theme of EU-MOLDOVA: STRONGER TOGETHER, the Europe Day 2023 activities will take place throughout May and will highlight the values and culture of the European Union, as well as the assistance provided by the EU and its Member States, for the benefit of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova.
“Europe Day is a day to celebrate peace and unity throughout Europe. As the first anniversary of “EU candidate country status” is approaching, we congratulate Moldovan as their country has chosen the European path. The path of reforms for the inviolability of the human dignity, the path of respecting fundamental freedoms of its citizens. Moldova has chosen democracy and rule of law. The brutal war of aggression of Russia against Ukraine has proven to us how important solidarity is to protect the lives of citizens and preserve our economies! Solidarity is the pillar that unites people, countries, and continents. Solidarity is a about humanity. In the spirit of solidarity, we invite all Moldovans to join us at Europe Day events throughout the country, together we are stronger!” said Jānis Mažeiks, Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova.
