EUROPE DAY ON TV AND RADIO
A series of programmes attended by the Ambassadors of the EU Member States accredited to the Republic of Moldova, hosted by five partner radio stations and seven television stations.

Viewers and listeners were able to learn about the European course of the EU Member States, the major challenges they faced before and after accession, the lessons learned and, respectively, the good practices that the Republic of Moldova could take over in order to faster align national legislation with the European one and reach the standards of living of the European Union. Increased attention has been paid in all TV and Radio programmes to the EU support in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, when immediate solidarity has been and remains crucial.
