The cycling race, which was organised by the Comrat Police Department, saw participants pedal to Lake Comrat and back.

*"We want to unite our friends and the civil society,"* said Pavel Buneanu, the deputy chief of the Comrat Police Department. *"We believe that such events bring us together even more. The Republic of Moldova has gone through difficult times before becoming independent. I wish everyone much success on this path."*

Local authorities also joined residents and visitors in celebrating the holiday.

*"I, as any citizen of the Republic of Moldova, love this country and want to have a developed country,"* said Comrat Mayor Serghei Anastasov. *"First of all, we need to have good relations with the neighbouring countries of the Republic of Moldova. We have a beautiful country. We are happy with the repaired kindergartens, new roads, and many positive changes, but still, I would like the country to develop faster and for us to stay here with our children and families."*
