The President of the Romanian Academy, academician Cristian Hera on Wednesday urged to following the example of the Romanian Principalities Union's founders in building a united, dignified, respected country where concord rules.
In his word opening the event organised by the Romanian Academy and the Romanian Orthodox Church on the Hill of Patriarchy, academician Cristian Hera recalled the moment of the Romanian Principalities Union and praised the personality of then ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza, characterised by "patriotism, honesty and dignity" features that have characterised Cuza Voda during both his rule and his exile years", thanks to which he left behind him "a solid state inside" and "a respected state outside."
President Klaus Iohannis urged the participants in the event to make Romania "an ever stronger state", where "rights and freedoms are respected, and democracy is the letter of law."
In his turn, the BOR Patriarch Daniel said the events 159 years ago are "a fundamental historical moment" for the organisation of the modern Romanian state, as well as a foundation for the 1918 Great Union.
