“Today, you receive what you have deserved and won through your efforts. We every year enjoy special support on behalf of Romania’s government, in different forms, and a special form is to help children and young people from Moldova know the nice world and go to have a rest, in summer and winter, at camps from Romania,” Andrian Candu said.
State Secretary from the Ministry for Romanians Abroad Veaceslav Saramet informed that 38 young people winners of the contest would go to a camp in Sulina, Tulcea county, Romania, to rest and take part in various workshops in Romanian language, history, culture and on subjects of European integration.
