Thanks for all the coverage. As a formal Peace Corps volunteer in Moldova, I subscribe because it is the only way to get good regular reporting from a favorite home. Thanks!

Wow, great coverage and sharing with all of us so far away. This is indeed historic for not only Moldova but for all of Europe. It is my hope that the connections, conversations and successes coming out of the EPC will move the world closer to peace. Super that we get to see a first-hand rendition of what's going on. Priceless!

I'd love to see those diplomatic dinner tables, and whether the meal was served in the typical masă style. If it lasted the traditional 2-3 hours as well, who knows what kinds of agreements could be reached?

David, glad to see you got a (working) reward for your long term commitment and hard work in Moldova.

Thanks Connie!! I suspect it was a bit more formal. Though it would be pretty crazy to see the look on people's faces if they showed up and found 1 glass of wine that was to be passed around clockwise :)

David, On behalf of myself and my English speaking friends that I connected to Moldova Matters, thank you for creating this fine journal that has been consistently informative, unbiased and superbly written since its birth. Its not only that your coverage of this historic (for Moldova) ECP Summit was the only in English, but in your fashion was succinct, informative and blow by blow. Kudos!!!

My wife was born and raised about 12 miles from Castel Mimi and is visiting home right now with our children. It was so great to get updates of this historic day while they are there too. Thanks David!
