2008 Bucharest, NATO Summit
Posted on April 8th, 2008 2 commentsLast week, Bucharest was the host for the biggest NATO summit according to this source. The event was supported by the Romanian state and by Bucharest inhabitants. I won’t write anything that can be found in the news papers. It is true, that Bucharest was cleaned and beautified before the summit, and it is true that the activity of the capital was affected. But also is true that the event was a success. More abut the back stage here.
I was amazed to read a blog entry like this, where people that are characterized to be smart are talking about the event like it was just another Romanian fiasco, and Romania is a second hand country. I can’t say that I’m very proud about being Romanian, but I can say that I’m prouder after this event. You can’t escape from a mentality of a loser by whining about how things are. May be, this is the faith of Romanians. The is a Romanian folklore poem called “Mioritza“, that expresses some how the pitch of the Romanian soul: looking at the facts without having a reaction, contemplating is a bless and a curse, or may be it’s like this?
Some how I felt at this summit that some things are changing, that we can prove to be good hosts, like we like to think about us and we prove to be able to use the second biggest building in the world The House of the People, to its real value.
Congratulations Romania & Bucharest!

I disagree with you. The House of People is not a value. It can me many things but value. Let’s think about our communist times and the history that reminds us about pain. Much effort was put from the people in order to build this “balsoi” project.
The NATO Summit was a great event and it’s good that it happened in Bucharest. I am glad that overall it was a successful meeting. Now I see this event as a positive one. Time will tell. -
it is arguable :), if it’s a value or not. it depends… I think people who say that is not a value, reffer to its architectural value, or not?
