The award ceremony took place at the majestic Royal Palace in Bucharest, celebrating the country’s excellence in fields such as healthcare, government, culture, and finance. Among the awardees, only three were foreigners, including Sara Turetta.

In her speech, Sara highlighted the significant progress made in Romania regarding animal welfare. However, she emphasized that continuing this path requires tangible support from businesses and the media, in collaboration with NGOs like Save the Dogs.
