Man I m not saying my sources are perfectly accurate neither yours I m saying just that the Romanian census of 2002 is not very accurate and a sure and reliable source I mean the population of the cities is too low in comparision with estimation provided 2 years from that time in 2002 There s no way that the population of Bra ov or Constan a for example drop in space of 2 3 years about 50 60 000 Come on neither in Ukraine were the population s declining rate is much over Romania s cities population don t discrease like that Iasi could have 340 000 inhabitants because I m sure that its population was undercounted in the 2002 census Arthur 10 June 2006
