Moldova is marking 35 years of independence today with a solemn parliamentary session, bringing together representatives from all branches of government. The celebrations are set against a backdrop of ongoing security concerns, as another drone entered the country's airspace, marking a continuation of recent incursions.
Adding to the security alerts, multiple courts in Chisinau, including the Court of Appeal Centru where a hearing for the high-profile Plahotniuc case was scheduled, received bomb threats. Meanwhile, President Maia Sandu traveled to Kyiv to celebrate Ukraine's Independence Day and awarded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with the 'Order of the Republic,' symbolizing Moldovan gratitude.
In other news, the Moldovan government is moving forward with restrictions on grain imports, with new details emerging on the reasons and potential impact on farmers. On a positive note, Moldova's women's national beach rugby team has achieved a historic victory, being crowned European champions for the first time.
