A day for naps, prayer, reading, recovery, study, and the human need to step out of noise for a little while.
The day honoring the Moldovan police, who work in a country where the rule of law is still being built. The day is observed with a ceremony at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the tradition is to give the police officers a small gift (usually a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates). The day is also a reminder of the challenges facing the Moldovan police: low salaries, corruption, and the difficulty of maintaining order in a country where the borders are disputed (the Transnistrian conflict remains unresolved).
