Corina Călugăru, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Moldova to the Council of Europe: "The accession of Republic of Moldova to the Council had a major impact on the country’s institutional and normative framework, as well as on the personal life of citizens. I am glad that we have generations, including mine, educated in the spirit of the organisation's values. Embracing and endeavouring of these values by the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, is the natural path to assert ourself into the European family".
