The poet Nicolae Dabija, present at the ceremony of bringing flowers to Stefan the Great's Monument from Balti, declared that the first Basarabians who, 90 years ago, expressed their wish to join Romania were the citizens of Balti. “It is important to remember the generation of Balti politicians and intellectuals from that time, who had more luck than we have”, Nicolae Dabija also said.

The president of the Association of Historians from the Republic of Moldova, Gheorghe Paladi, noticed that it is the right moment to discuss about the Great Union in Balti, because, in comparison with our times, long a go, Balti was a real centre of Romanian culture.
