Hello everyone, If someone has their MD degree from outside Europe, but completes residency in Europe, does it entitle them to work in any European country or only the country where they did their residency? Thank you :)

I just wrote a program to tell them I'm ranking them number 1, and the program director wrote back to say 'this made my day!' and that I should let him know if I had any questions up until I submitted my very final list. I'm trying to read this as a generally positive sign, and nothing else. It...
