Country – such a simple word, but with such a deep meaning. Many of the world’s nations are happy to have it, but are also many of them who are still fighting to keep it or to obtain it.

We, Moldovan people, for 25 years, no matter the spoken language or ethnic group, religion, are proud and tell the entire world that we have a country. Maybe is not the largest, maybe is not the richest, but it is our country.

Sometimes we get angry towards the country, other times we are leaving it, but we never forget it. And each time we say: I am born in Moldova! I love Moldova! Happy anniversary, Republic of Moldova!

This year, Republic of Moldova is celebrating 25 years of independence, voted by the Parliament on 27 August 1991.
