State Security Workers' Day in Moldova
September 9 · Level 9 · #362 of 2238
Moldova's State Security Workers' Day recognises personnel working in intelligence, counterintelligence and the detection of threats to the country. It acknowledges a profession in which much of the work takes place outside public view.
How it is celebrated: departmental ceremonies include awards and expressions of thanks to serving staff and veterans. Official messages emphasise professional responsibility and the protection of the state.
The abbreviation SIS comes from the service's Romanian name, Serviciul de Informații și Securitate. The organisation combines foreign intelligence and domestic counterintelligence responsibilities within a single institution.
