The purpose of this article is to highlight the aspects of the evacuation operations from Bulgaria, executed by the Romanian troops participating in the military campaign in the summer of 1913, a chapter of the national military history less researched. The article is based on the documents studied in the national archives. In the summer of 1913, in the face of an unstable Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece decided to conclude a defensive alliance, a process completed on 19 May/1 June 1913, which aimed to establish their own interests in Macedonia against the Bulgarian ones. Moreover, to the tensions between the former Balkan allies were added the armed incidents near the outposts of the three armies that had the mission of preserving the conquered positions. In this context, Romania's position became a very important one, in relation to the obligations assumed by the treaties concluded at international level, which is why Romania had to make a decision regarding the participation in the ongoing war.

Samples of Cabernet Sauvignon red wine - from two vineyard areas in Moldova and one in Dobrogea - were bought from local markets and analyzed using ICP-OES. Trace concentrations of Al, Sr and Zn were identified. The lowest concentrations were found in Vrancea wines from the year 2003 and the highest concentrations were found for the Vaslui wines from the year 2007. Potassium concentrations depended strongly on the wine variety and the year of harvest, while iron and sodium concentrations had low variations. All mineral concentrations were below the maximum allowed level stipulated by the "Law on Vine and Wine." One single sample exceeded the maximum allowed sodium concentration by 3 mg L-1.
