Controversă de nivel internațional, după concertul trupei Morandi în Abhazia, regiune separatistă, sub protecția Rusiei

The Romanian band Morandi faced criticism from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for performing in the separatist region of Abkhazia, Georgia. The ministry reiterated Romania's non-recognition of Abkhazia's independence, emphasizing support for Georgia's territorial integrity. In response, Morandi defended their actions on social media, stating their music aims to bring people together, not to engage in political disputes. They expressed a belief in the universal message of music and the importance of compassion, regardless of political boundaries. Abkhazia declared independence in 1992, but is only recognized by a few countries, including Russia.
