"It is a deep sense of pride; this is more than just an outstanding performance, it is proof that Moldova is becoming an important player on the European sports stage," said Dan Perciun, Minister of Education and Research.
"I am proud of this generation of champions who inspire an entire country. I thank sportspeople, coaches, the National Weightlifting Federation and everyone who made this victory possible. Hosting this championship in Moldova for the first time was not just a logistical success, but a sign of trust and respect on behalf of the entire Europe. We have proved that we are a serious partner and ready to provide top conditions for large-scale competitions," Perciun also said.
According to the minister of education, the good news doesn't stop here. "Next is the ATP Tennis Tournament, equivalent to the World Championship among seniors, the European Judo Championship, U23, and the European Rugby Championship, all hosted by Moldova. We continue to invest, believe and support. Because, yes - Moldova can," Dan Perciun specified.
