We carry with us everywhere the famous waltz from My Sweet and Tender Beast and recognize the maestro's compositions from the first notes,” said the head of state.

To pay tribute to the maestro Eugen Doga, the day of the funeral will be declared a national day of mourning in Moldova. On this day, state flags will be flown at half-mast, and public institutions and citizens are encouraged to observe a moment of silence in memory of the great composer.
