“Europe is a project of peace, a project of solidarity, a project of cooperation,” European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said about the European project on the occasion of May 9, the Europe Day.
“We are not perfect, but for many people outside Europe, we are still a model of peace, of democracy, of prosperity and of social protection,” Van Rompuy said.
