Chisinau, 15 Dec. / MOLDPRES /- Slobozia village, Ştefan Vodă district will have a coat of arms and a flag. The decree on the registration of village symbols, signed by the country's president, was published in the Official Journal today.

The locality Slobozia or popularly called Slobozia Hanesei is located in the southeast of the Republic of Moldova, 2 km from the route Tighina - Odessa. The name Slobozia means "people settled on free land", as a testimony that the localities of Bugeac began to grow, especially at the expense of those who came to capitalize on the rich lands here after the end of the Russo-Turkish war of 1768-1774. The village is first mentioned on a Russian map from 1738, which is kept in the Central State Historical-Military Archive in Moscow. The town is mentioned in documents from the Russian-Turkish wars (1762, 1770, 1813).
