Moldovan PM attends event on commemoration of heroes fallen in Cosnita during Transnistria War

The Government of the Republic of Moldova

The heroes who fell on the Cosnita plateau, defending the independence and territorial integrity of Moldova at the 1992 Transnistria War, today were commemorated through a Peace March. Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu took part in the event.

“The Cosnita plateau is a place of memory and sacrifice. The future of Moldova was decided here. Ordinary people – farmers, teachers, workers – became defenders of this country. It was a trial for our young state, but Moldova did not give in. Moldova has stood firm and chosen a clear path: the path of freedom, the path of democracy, the European path,” said the PM.

The prime minister paid tribute to those who had lost their lives for the freedom of Moldova and expressed gratitude to the veterans of the Transnistria War, noting that their sacrifice stays a lesson in responsibility and solidarity for the younger generation and for society as a whole. At the same time, the prime minister stressed that the brutal war waged by the Russian Federation in Ukraine was a reminder of how fragile peace is and how high the price of freedom can be.

The PM also referred to government’s efforts to support veterans and the families of those who fell in the war. To strengthen social protection and gradually increase state support, the Law on War Veterans has been adopted.

“We will continue to do more for veterans, because true respect is not expressed only in words. Respect must be seen in actions, but the greatest duty we have towards veterans is to build a strong Moldova: a united, free and secure Moldova. A country where people live without fear, children grow up in peace and stay at home,” declared Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu.

The Peace March is held annually, on March 14, on the main street in Cosnita, in memory of the more than 40 heroes who lost their lives on the plateau.
