On 9 May 1945, Europe began its journey to peace, leading to its rebirth through the creation of the European Union.

Today, maintaining peace is our priority, and on Europe Day, from Moldova’s main square, I reaffirmed our commitment to joining the EU, a peace project.

#OnThisDay in 1949, the Council of Europe was founded, uniting nations under a vision of unity and progress. Explore our photo series of the historic signing by leaders across Europe 🇧🇪🇩🇰🇫🇷🇮🇪🇮🇹🇱🇺🇳🇱🇳🇴🇸🇪🇬🇧. Celebrate 75 years of #Democracy #HumanRights and #RuleOfLaw .

With Commissioner Věra Jourová we spoke about defending our democracies and combating illegal party financing.

As Moldova gears up for two significant electoral events, it's essential to ensure election integrity and prevent foreign interference.

Today we celebrate the State Flag Day of 🇲🇩. The flag is not just a symbol but the inclusion of our unity and the fact that we are a sovereign and independent country. It reflects our dreams and aspirations for a better future.

🛑If it is not a yes, it is a no.

I welcome the conclusions of the EU Council, in which leaders acknowledge the reform progress made by Moldova and Ukraine and decide to initiate accession talks with Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We strongly condemn Russia’s unauthorized electoral activities on the sovereign territory of Moldova in the Administrative Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Nistru.

We call upon the international community to uphold a rule-based order & denounce Russia’s actions.

International Women’s Day is a reminder of the progress in women’s rights, but it’s also a call to recognize the ongoing journey ahead.

Women’s rights aren’t just about equality; they’re about asserting independence, and as independent women thrive, so do independent societies.
