Un pachet al Asociației „Fiți Buni”, la Vidin — ianuarie 2026

These are the years from 2020 on — since the campaigns have also been run through the Fiți Buni Association, whose president is Nicoleta Iagăru — and the years in which her name appears in the campaign’s sources. The association calls her husband, Father Ion Iagăru, the initiator of its projects; the campaign’s whole history, from the first edition, with its photographs and press, is on his site.
