Hungarian participation in the European Village series of events organised on the occasion of Europe Day

We participated in the Europe Day series of events, held on May 9, 2026, under the motto “Europe is YOU: Peace. Freedom. Growth.” The event marked its 20th anniversary.

Located in the main square of Chișinău, the Hungarian stand at the European Village not only promoted our tourist attractions and Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship program, but also featured in-person presentations by the well-known and popular spa town of Hajdúszoboszló, as well as Fornetti and OTP Moldova.

In addition to Fornetti’s selection of baked goodies, we offered visitors a traditional beef stew prepared in a cauldron with a slightly spicy taste in order to provide a broader introduction to Hungarian flavours.

As part of the cultural program, Balázs Jeremiás, representing the Szoboszló Folk Dance Ensemble, performed a Szatmár, Rábaköz, and Kalotaszeg lads' dance on the main stage. 

The booth’s popularity was further boosted by the almost constant “consultation hours” of a physiotherapist and rehabilitation specialist made available by Hungarospa Zrt.
