"We have thus honoured the performance and successes these people have achieved in their professional activity. I mentioned that in a difficult year for all of us, the best response we can give to Evil is the good things we do every day - working honestly, caring for our neighbour, contributing to the well-being of the country and the good name. This is what each of the decorated ones did, with dedication, effort and involvement. At home or abroad, in the field or in the laboratory, on stage, in the ring or in the classroom, they worked to do good and bring joy, so that development is stronger than destruction," wrote Maia Sandu on her Facebook page.

The President thanked them for their contribution to the development and promotion of the Republic of Moldova and reiterated the call for unity to withstand crises.

Maia Sandu also handed out three posthumous distinctions: for the former Ambassador Valeriu Turea and for two participants in the war on the Dniester - Grigorii Căruntu and Aurel Cuconescu, former mayor of the village of Varnița.

Janis Mazeiks about the October referendum: We are ready for the integration processes

An unlikely negative vote in the October 20 referendum would create an unclear situation. "We are ready for the integration processes, but we are not ready for unclear situations ", said the EU ambassador in Chisinau, Janis Mazeiks, in an exclusive interview in Romanian to Moldova 1 TV. A possible positive vote in the referendum will not lead to significant changes. "The Republic of Moldova is already a candidate country," said the diplomat.
