With good and bad moments, the year 2017 is coming to an end and the time is now inopportune to sum up. On this occasion, IPN gathered good thoughts, this time only good ones, from those who take decisions and from those for whom decisions are taken. What good things did 2007 bring? This is the question that we put to those who accepted to be near us in our wish to find what’s good in the things around us and in the events that mark us. Even if many times things do not go as we want, it is the man and society that stand to gain as they can see an additional opportunity to become involved and change things to be better even in problems and worse things. For each of the raised subjects, we provide a number of rankings that show the position of those that compiled them. Below you can see the accomplishments of 2017 in the Transnistrian settlement process. Below you can see what good things 2017 brought in cinematography.
