from Penka Kolchakova:
'I am writing to you with great pleasure. It was a great Congress.
You have done a great work and it was worthy. Thank you very
much for all you and your colleagues have done! I am sending
you attached my report for the Newsletter'.
It was a great pleasure for me to participate with a poster
presentation at the 10th Congress of the European Association
of Palliative Care held in Budapest, Hungary 7 - 9th June
this year. It was an amazing experience to be part of the
palliative care society, to be one of the 2121 delegates at
this great event. The opening ceremony of the Congress was
a unique experience and inspired the audience to openly discuss
essential matters of life, including also the process of dying.
All plenary lectures were most important and useful contributing
to the further development of palliative care throughout the
world as well as in my own country. In the different sections
I attended many bridges were built to connect diversity, which
was the motto of the Congress.
The
brilliant organization of the Congress made it possible to
meet colleagues, friends and people involved in hospice and
palliative care from all over the world, to exchange opinions
on different palliative care issues, to learn more, to make
plans for further projects and collaboration.
Back home I met my colleagues from the Medical College in
Plovdiv, from the psychiatric society, and the Chairman of
the Bulgarian Association on Palliative Care, and I conveyed
the ideas and messages of the Congress.
I want to express my gratitude to the organizers of the Congress
for the great work they have done and to thank OSI-EAPC for
the grant I have received which enabled my participation at
the Congress.

Letter from Natasa Milicevic:
'I hope you had some time for rest after all the efforts you
had about Congress.
Congress was excellent one. Congratulations! Both topics and
organization were excellent. Thank you for inviting me to give
the presentation about CoE Rec. Anyway Rec is important document
and I am sure that in next few years some countries will declare
how important it was for the palliative care development. For
us in Serbia it is very important. It is the only one document,
at the moment, we can use as a tool for palliative care development.
Once again thank you and enjoy your summer.
