Today, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, awarded the "Order of Honor" to Jiří Našinec, a translator from Romanian to Czech.

We, the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, gathered on 21 May 2023 on the Great National Assembly Square, at a decisive moment for the country's fate, in order to affirm the Republic of Moldova's aspiration to become a full member of the European Union and to contribute to this objective taking in consideration that we are European, both historically, geographically, culturally, as well as through the fundamental values we share.
Dear Moldovans – those who gathered in the Great National Assembly Square and those who came together in other capitals of the world – I'm glad that there are so many of us here today. Let me warmly greet everyone, those in the centre of the country, those in the North of Moldova all the way to the South, those from Ocnita to Cahul.
Presidency of the Republic of Moldova
