The Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova, together with the Embassies of the EU Member States, marks Europe Day 2025 in several regions of the Republic of Moldova. The traditional European Village will be organized this year in Chisinau on 9 May and Causeni on 17 May, offering educational, creative, and interactive activities and surprises for all generations.
Europe Day 2025 marks the fundamental values underpinning the formation and development of the European Union – principles that have transformed the 27 member states into prosperous countries dedicated to promoting human rights, peace, and progress. Europe Day 2025 also marks the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration (9 May 1950), which laid the foundations for the European Union as we know it today.
Under the theme “PEACE, PROSPERITY, DEMNITY – EUROPE IS YOU!,” Europe Day 2025 will be marked throughout the month of May, with activities and events planned in several regions of the Republic of Moldova. These events will highlight the continued support of the European Union and its Member States to the Republic of Moldova, as well as the rich cultural diversity that defines the member countries of the European family. This year, the cultural heritage of the Republic of Moldova will feature prominently in the Europe Day events.

“On Europe Day, we celebrate unity, peace, and prosperity — fundamental values, bringing us together as we build a shared future in our great European family. Above all, peace is the foundation upon which everything else is built. A country that chooses war, destruction, and oppression is doomed to corruption and lawlessness. Russia’s war against Ukraine is a painful reminder of what truly matters. Moldova has felt the impact of Russia’s pressure — through economic intimidation, energy blackmail, and disinformation campaigns aimed at dividing society. And yet, Moldova has stood firm. Moldova remains strong because it is not alone.
This year, on Europe Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to the values that unite us and make us stronger: Peace, Prosperity, and Dignity, because Europe is not just a place. Europe is an idea. Europe is a choice. Europe is your family. And Europe is YOU,” stated Janis Mazeiks, Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova.
In Chisinau, the European Village will be organized on 9 May in the Great National Assembly Square. 19 EU Member States are ready to share their cultural and culinary traditions with the visitors of the European Village in Chisinau. In the evening, the public can enjoy an exceptional concert by Vali Boghean, Marej, Vopli Vidopleasova from Ukraine, Zdob and Zdub, and LUPII lui Calancea together with GUZ and the Osoianu Sisters.
The European Village will also come to Causeni on 17 May, on the occasion of Europe Day. The event will culminate with a remarkable concert by the famous Pasha Parfeni and Zdob si Zdub.
Events dedicated to Europe Day 2025 will also be organized in Cahul, Ungheni, and other localities in cooperation with EU-funded projects, local public authorities, the network of Euroclubs, and European Information Centres across the country.
