The Chisinau City Hall will bestow the title of citizen of honor of Chisinau upon poet-academician Grigore Vieru posthumously, the municipal press service has said.

According to the quoted source, the title will be awarded until February 14, when Grigore Vieru would have turned 74.

The Chisinau City Hall considers that the homage paid to the poet must have a continuous character and proposes organizing activities to commemorate him.

Among the proposed measures are naming a Chisinau street by the poet’s name, installing a memorial plaque on his house and a bust, building a monument, founding a Cultural Center/Institute “Grigore Vieru” with museum, instituting a yearly national prize in literature “Grigore Vieru”, publishing all his works and an album with pictures of the poet, issuing a CD and a DVD with poems read by the author and with his speeches, and others.

The Chisinau administration hopes that these proposals will materialize and help promote the works of Grigore Vieru within the Romanian cultural space.
