This is the fruit of the effort that each of these people made, confidently overcoming prejudices and barriers", the president said.

"I urge you to stay united, respect each other and fight together for a better life here at home! Much health, joy and fulfillment to all Roma, big and small, in any corner of the country!", Maia Sandu said.
