“Shared mission and moral code represent a solid basis EU members need to strengthen through cooperation and innovation. There’s a certain pride in being European, whether it’s for such a wide variety of cultures, a unique heritage or a sense of democracy achieved through history. I believe in United Europe because, like in a perfect symphony every instrument is essential, Europe must rely on every state in order to promote sustainable growth and economic prosperity. I define myself as strong European also because if it weren’t for specific policies my country would have faced more adversities. Encouraging a deep sense of community in old and new generations should be at the centre of every initiative, from the smallest city to the largest state.”
