“The police will not walk around, remove the tapes from the chest, they will behave in a very civilized manner.
We talked with the police that we need to discuss the situation with citizens, explain to them, because we are a civilized society.
Of course, we will not be able to immediately get the desired result in the first year,” the speaker of parliament said.
He also urged citizens not to commit "provocations".
“May 9 is an important day, you need to go to the memorial, to the cemetery, to honor the memory, but do not try to arrange provocations,” RIA Novosti quotes Grosu.
On April 19, Moldovan President Maia Sandu approved a ban on the use of the St. George ribbon, previously approved by parliament.
Moldovan police have warned that they will punish all citizens for wearing St. George ribbons both on Victory Day and at any other time.
The Russian Foreign Ministry called this decision of the Moldovan authorities a betrayal.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called on the Moldovan authorities to abandon confrontational rhetoric, otherwise a painful response would follow.
