The President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu called on the Romanian citizens to participate in the elections of December 1 and 8, when the Parliament and the President of Romania will be elected. Sandu said that the Romanian people have the power and wisdom to defend their place in the world, and this power lies only in voting, IPN reports.

"The fate of the Republic of Moldova is closely linked to the fate of Romania. Any victory of Romania is also our victory. We experience together any hardship. A strong Romania is a source of pride for us as well, and a guarantee that we will succeed with you," the head of state said in a video message.

Maia Sandu noted that she will exercise her right to vote because she wants "a Romania that lives in peace, with a strong voice in the world and with a high standard of living for all its citizens." "The Romanian people are free! I urge you to vote for a strong, European Romania, for a free country," added President Sandu.

The Romanian citizens with the right to vote, who reside or are temporarily abroad, can vote in the parliamentary and presidential elections of Romania at any of the polling stations established outside the country, with an identity document issued by the Romanian state, valid on election day.
