Europe Day 2023. What message did the EU ambassador convey and what is the schedule of events

The representations of the European Union in the Republic of Moldova, together with the embassies of EU member states, are celebrating Europe Day 2023 through a series of cultural, interactive, and educational events in various regions of the country.

Under the theme “EU-MOLDOVA: STRONGER TOGETHER,” the activities for Europe Day 2023 will take place throughout the month of May and will emphasize 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 we approach the first anniversary of the 'candidate country for EU status,' we congratulate the Moldovans for choosing the European path. The path of reforms for the inviolability of human dignity, the path of respecting the fundamental freedoms of its citizens. Moldova has chosen democracy and the rule of law. The brutal aggression of Russia against Ukraine has shown us how important solidarity is in protecting people's lives and maintaining our well-being! Solidarity is the pillar that unites people, countries, and continents. Solidarity is about humanity. In the spirit of solidarity, we invite all Moldovans to join us in the events dedicated to Europe Day throughout the country, together we are stronger!" stated Jānis Mažeiks, the European Union Ambassador to the Republic of Moldova.
