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”.POLITICS
