Dear citizens,

Today, as the Republic of Moldova marks 35 years since the proclamation of Independence, we celebrate not only a historic moment but also the fundamental right of a people to freely determine their destiny, to build their own institutions, and to defend their democratic values.

August 27 is the day when we look with respect to the past, with responsibility to the present, and with confidence to the future. Independence represents not only sovereignty and freedom but also the duty of each of us to contribute to the strengthening of a state where the law, human dignity, freedom of choice, and the will of the citizen are respected.

For us, those who work in the electoral field, this celebration holds a special significance. Free, fair, and transparent elections are one of the fundamental expressions of a state's independence, and the vote of each citizen represents the voice through which the future of the Republic of Moldova is built.

On this anniversary, we pay deep tribute to all those who, through courage, sacrifice, and dedication, have contributed to the affirmation and defense of the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of our country. At the same time, we have the responsibility to pass on to future generations a democratic, peaceful, and strong Moldova, in which citizens trust the institutions and their own ability to determine the destiny of the country.

May the Independence of the Republic of Moldova remain not just a page of history but a value that we affirm every day through responsibility, solidarity, mutual respect, and civic engagement.

I wish you peace in your families, health, prosperity, and confidence in the future. May we have the wisdom to preserve what unites us and the strength to build together a country worthy of the aspirations of its citizens.

🇲🇩 Happy Independence Day, Republic of Moldova! Happy Independence Day to all citizens!

With special consideration, Svetlana COLESNIC Chairwoman of the Municipal Electoral Council of Bălți No. 2
