World War II veterans will receive 30 thousand lei in aid this year

The Government of the Republic of Moldova decided to increase the financial aid granted to World War II veterans to 30,000 lei, by 20,000 lei more than in previous years. The decision was voted on during today's Executive session and concerns 25 veterans who are still alive in the Republic of Moldova.

Prime Minister Dorin Recean said the measure was a gesture of gratitude to those who fought against Nazism. “The government took this important decision as a sign of gratitude and deep respect for the people who fought against Nazism and for the Victory of Peace,” Recean said.

In previous years, World War II veterans received 10,000 lei in state support.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.

"The Republic of Moldova, a model student, may pursue EU accession independently."

The European Union is considering the possibility of continuing the accession process with the Republic of Moldova separately from Ukraine, as Kiev's efforts are blocked by Hungary, Marta Kos, the European Commissioner for Enlargement, told RFE/RL. In an interview with RFE/RL on April 28, during a visit to Prague, Marta Kos said that she "cannot rule out a decoupling" of the two countries as early as June, when important decisions on the Union's enlargement are to be made in Brussels.
