“Mogoswaia is a village adjacent to the Romanian capital, Bucharest, famous for its palace in the style of the Roman Renaissance.

In this village and in another town – Boveti – Parliament was the football tournament held and it includes the teams of Italy and Ukraine, Turkey, and Romania, and the latter country had two teams: of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, and Polish deputies also attended, and in their case the departure was very expensive., “writes Rzeczpospolita.”
