9 Μαϊου - Η Ημέρα της Ευρώπης: 🇪🇺 «Η Ευρώπη δεν θα δημιουργηθεί διά μιας, ούτε μ’ ένα συνολικό σχέδιο: θα οικοδομηθεί μέσα από συγκεκριμένα επιτεύγματα που πρώτα θα δημιουργήσουν μια πραγματική αλληλεγγύη.» - Διακήρυξη Schuman, 9 Μαΐου 1950

"Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity."
Schuman Declaration, 9 May 1950 2026
