“My friends, Europe Day is about and for people! Europe Day is about you. It is the day when we mark the values that unite us. It is the day to remind ourselves that solidarity makes us stronger. For the Republic of Moldova, it is the day when we celebrate the European aspirations of the country and its people,” said Jānis Mažeiks, Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova.
Activities dedicated to Europe Day 2024 will take place throughout the month of May, highlighting 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.
At the European Village in the Great National Assembly Square, 30 EU-funded projects providing assistance in various fields such as rural, economic and social development, will inform the visitors about the activities carried out and who are or can become concrete beneficiaries of this assistance.
