The State University of Moldova (USM) awarded the diploma Doctor Honoris Causa to Poland’s Ambassador to Moldova Bartłomiej Zdaniuk for special merits in education and science, especially for the extended study of the strengthening of the state in the Republic of Moldova, which ended with the defending of the thesis of doctor habilitate in political sciences. Also, Ambassador Bartłomiej Zdaniuk is a good friend of the Republic of Moldova and a promoter of the policy of cooperation with Poland, IPN reports.

He has studied the theme of the Republic of Moldova for over 15 years. Of the three published monographs, two center on the Republic of Moldova.

For his part, Bartłomiej Zdaniuk said he often wonders who the experts in political sciences are and if they are people of science or not. The politicians are people of science and their particularities can be defined by particular features.

As to the merits attributed to him, the diplomat said this is what Poland, not the ambassador does for the Republic of Moldova to faster take one more step towards the future. “I think the results expressed in free, democratic elections by a pluralistic society confirmed that the people in the Republic of Moldova have a clear wish. The people want to live in dignity, want to live nicely and let’s all lend a hand to achieve this,” stated Bartłomiej Zdaniuk
