Princess Maria of Romania Visits Moldova

On May 17th, the princess took a tour of the Academy of Economic Studies in Chisinau where she learned of its history. Later that day, she paid a visit to the High School of Fine Arts “Igor Vieru”, whose patrons include Princess Maria’s brother in law, Prince Radu. Clearly impressed with the school, the princess congratulated the students on their work.

The next day, Princess Maria arrived in Ialoveni, where she met the town’s mayor, Mr. Sergiu Armaşu, before laying a wreath at the monument for those who died in the War of Independence.
