The names of the first laureates of the European Order of Merit, who have made significant contributions to European integration were announced on 10 March 2026 in Strasbourg. “Europe has always been built by people. Bridging divides, breaking barriers, overthrowing dictatorships and overcoming crises for a better future for our continent. This European commitment deserves to be celebrated. With the European Order of Merit, we honour those who did not simply believe in Europe, but who helped build it”, President Metsola said when announcing the first laureates.

This video showcases archival footage of the recipients of the inaugural 2025 European Order of Merit, established to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration. The Order celebrates those whose extraordinary dedication has advanced European unity, defended democracy, and upheld human dignity. Divided into three tiers of distinction—Distinguished Members, Honourable Members, and Members—it pays tribute to visionary leaders, diplomats, and activists whose legacies continue to shape a stronger, more united Europe. This is an initial version and will soon be updated to include all recipients.
