In 2019, Moldova and Romania jointly created a cross-border route Voivode Stephen the Great, which includes 29 tourist attractions on both banks of the Prut, historically linked to the name of the Grand Duke. They are directly related to the life of Stephen the Great and have a cultural-historical value for us as a nation as well as an important element of identity through which we can talk to foreign tourists about our past and present.
