As in 2018 (bridges), the Post of Moldova has put into circulation this year (on April 19, 2019) a EUROPA set composed of two very large size (68 x 34 mm) stamps, with preview sale in two different localities of the country, Soroca (MD-3006) for the "White stork" stamp and Orhei (MD-3505) for the "Golden eagle" stamps. I was very lucky to receive the two First Day covers (print run: 500 each, design: Lilian Iaţco) concerning each one of these two EUROPA stamps whose theme this year is dedicated to the "National birds" ("Păsări naţionale" in Romanian). These two beautiful stamps (design: Vladimir Melnic) have been printed each in sheet of 8 stamps as well as in a booklet (print run: 6,500) composed of 2 sheetlets (3 stamps + 1 label each). .
