Romania offended from Romania – Victor Roncea – Ziua – read here -
“I would have expected to hear the hymn of the USSR, the 'host' of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Ukraine, played in Cotroceni Palace when the President in Kiev said goodbye to the Romanian President. Viktor Andriiovici Yushchenko's daring approach to Romania, while in Romania, reminds about his predecessors like Kucima and Stalin. The explanations that followed from Cotroceni Palance presently are unsatisfying and they once again prove that there are no professionals for replying, documenting or preventing foreign and domestic attacks against the national Romanian state's sovereignty”.

Labor force grows scarcer – C.S. – Ziua – read here -
“Romania must stop the labor force immigration and elaborate a governmental plan on how to bring abor force home from abroad, just as it must come up with a strategy on immigration, adapted to the EU one. Romania's labor minister Paul Pacuraru explained it yesterday. He argued: "Romania has got an immigration strategy, but it hasn't been achieved yet. It will have to bring labor force because the development of economy is asking for it. But we don't know where to get it from" ”.
