“I’m very glad that we will have an occasion for celebrating this nice day. We have a very rich program for this year and the possibility of the participation of European Commissioner Stefan Fule is a greater pleasure,” said Dirk Schuebel, adding that the official will come to Chisinau on an unofficial visit to celebrate Europe Day.
In the same news conference, interim Prime Minister Prim Iurie Leanca said the European integration should be promoted by political will. Europe Day in Chisinau is marked in order to reassert the affiliation to the European area. A European future for the Moldovans means more investments, higher salaries, less corruption and more rights.
