Peace starts with us. The European Union was created to turn a divided continent into one of dialogue between 🇪🇺 countries, cooperation, and solidarity. Peace is not just part of our past — it remains our mission. Today and every day. #PeaceDay
A portrait photo of Robert Schuman, a balding man with glasses, wearing a dark suit and a striped tie, holding papers. Beside him, a quote reads: "World peace cannot be safeguarded without the making of creative efforts proportionate to the dangers which threaten it." The quote is attributed to Robert Schuman on May 9, 1950. The European Commission logo is in the top right corner.
