Chisinau, 12 May /MOLDPRES/ - The most imposing and ambitious model of development of the world is the one of the European Union and for several years already, the European Town has been giving possibility to Moldova’s citizens to see, feel and hear what each member state means. Parliament Speaker Andrian Candu has made statements to this effect at an official ceremony of opening of the European Town 2018 in Chisinau.   

The parliament’s communication and public relations department reported that, according to the speaker, tens of years EU had developed to become the second market of the world in terms of power and values. “The EU member states are so different, but so united through their diversity and democratic values promoted, including the ones dealing with the observance of law, rule of law state, work of strong institutions and fundamental human rights and freedoms, civil society and press freedom,” the parliament speaker noted.  

Andrian Candu also said that Moldova was also tending to this development model and the Moldovans had been travelling to EU freely for four years. “Day after day, by work, diligence and patience, we integrate into EU,” the speaker stressed.   

“This year, EU continues the nice tradition of promotion of the cultures of the member states not only in Chisinau, but also in Cahul, Balti, Comrat, Drochia, Ungheni, where European Towns will be organized as well,” Head of the EU Delegation to Moldova Peter Michalko said.
