Chisinau, 27 August /MOLDPRES/ - The events dedicated to the 27th anniversary of Moldova's independence started today traditionally with laid flowers at the monument "„Maica Îndurerată” and the monument of Stefan cel Mare, the government’s communication and protocol department has reported.
The message reads that the voting of the Declaration of Independence was an act of courage for intellectual elites. The Republic of Moldova broke from the past and started its own way, like most of the former Soviet Union countries. Independence, however, is not an event, but a long-term process. "You cannot become independent overnight and there is no absolute independence. Independence we build together every day, because independence is not an abstract notion - they are concrete things that we can and must do " he said.
Equally important is political independence. "The Republic of Moldova is a state that has begun to take an attitude and to express its opinion more internationally. Even if we are a small country, we want to be treated with respect, "said Pavel Filip. Results have also been achieved in the field of security - 64 states supported Moldova's request for the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country.
At the same time, for the first time since Independence, our country can control its border, including the Transnistrian segment.
"All this means for me steps towards independence. If we are better with each other, more united, more committed to what we are doing, the same will be the Republic of Moldova: better, more beautiful, more united and stronger, "said Pavel Filip.
The Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova was adopted and signed on 27 August 1991.
