The national day of Romania, celebrated on December 1, is also observed in Moldova as a symbol of the shared Romanian identity. The day commemorates the union of Transylvania with Romania in 1918, and it is a day of national pride for Romanians on both sides of the Prut River. The Moldovan flag and the Romanian flag fly side by side, and the tradition is to sing "Desteapta-te, romane!" (Wake up, Romanian!), the national anthem of Romania. The day is controversial in Moldova, because it raises the question of reunification with Romania, and the pro-Russian parties oppose it.
