The competition, which will test participants' knowledge of the Romanian language, will be held in the Square in front of the Maria Bieșu National Opera and Ballet Theatre in Chișinău.

"Starting at 9:30 a.m., in the Square in front of the Maria Bieșu National Opera and Ballet Theatre, participants will write a text selected from the 65 essays submitted to the essay contest "Why Moldova Must Be Part of the European Union." The winners will be awarded prizes in early September, and the authors of the best essays will collect their prizes at the event on August 31," Vodă said.

"We can honour the Romanian language by speaking it correctly, by reading and supporting writers who write in Romanian. We also thank all foreign citizens, tourists, and visitors who have also signed up for this event," Vodă added.

Igor Grosu, about the new Russian ambassador in Chisinau: "Let's see if he promotes friendship between countries"

The Chisinau authorities have no reason not to accredit the new ambassador of the Russian Federation in Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, the Parliament Speaker, Igor Grosu, told TV8. According to the official, the rejection of Ozerov's candidacy would serve as a basis for Moscow to victimize itself and accuse Chisinau of acting against the Russian Federation. The clarifications were made in the context in which Oleg Ozerov made controversial statements during his career and allegedly had links with the Wagner paramilitary group.
