Emil Boc declared that peace is not eternal and must be cultivated every day, carefully.

“Peace is not eternal, peace must be carefully cultivated every day. The fact that we have 79 years of peace is because our grandfathers and fathers understood that only cooperation between nations can bring peace and prosperity. If we do not have peace, we have nothing in this world. I hope the younger generation will understand this and defend their future. Do not forget that peace is not eternal and it does not only mean the absence of war, but also the cultivation of solidarity every day. Happy birthday Europe, happy birthday Romania”, said Emil Boc at the event organized in Piața Unirii.
