The President of Moldova...

... or making friends and influencing people...



My friend Helene had sent me this link about the president of this country talking happily to Russia, about this and that, and maybe Transnistria, too, without the permission of the EU. Imagine that.



I mean, a sovereign country talking directly to Russia. Whatever next? Admittedly a tiny, and extremely poor sovereign country, slightly on the wrong side of the Ukraine to think about linking bits of it with Russia, but really...Admittedly also the EU and other donors are pouring money into the country (with what motivation, you might well ask) but they do that in many countries in the world.



Apparently the EU is spitting blood over this. I don't know. The President is from Transnistria, so perhaps this is understandable from his point of view. And well, the population elected him, didn't they. Or was there funny business during the election?



I would say it's up to the Moldovan's to deal with this; they have plenty of models for revolutions if something comes to pass that people are deeply unhappy with.....

Dear Mrs ViolaVilnius,


i'm interested in tasting some kachapuris you wrote about in one of your blog. Would it be possible?
How long would take the fast delivery? How much would it cost?


Best regards,

Wherever you may be you could try your local Georgian restaurant (there should be one in each capital in Eastern Europe); though to taste the best ones you'd probably need to buy a ticket to Tbilisi, and go to the restaurant at Marjanishvili 16...

You might need a visa, too ;-)
