ABOUT THE THEME

The Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova (Romanian: Declaraţia de independenţă a Republicii Moldova) was a document adopted by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova following the failure of the August coup attempt. The document claims 'millennial history' and 'uninterrupted statehood' within historic and ethnic borders and refers to the official language as 'Romanian.'. This founding act of the Republic of Moldova from 1991 is celebrated on August 27, the National Day or Independence Day. The Republic of Moldova gained official recognition of statehood on 2 March 1992, by becoming a member of the United Nations. Read more..
