Romanian Foreign Minister Titus Corlatean is attending in Dubrovnik the Croatia Forum “EU Integration of Western Balkans: State of Play”. According to a Romanian Foreign Affairs press release, Corlatean will give a speech on enlargement policy prospects across the EU.

The Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania decided on Friday to remain part of the governing coalition, dominated by the Social Democratic Party. The president of the Union, Kelemen Hunor, announced however that he would resign from the positions of deputy prime-minister and minister of culture, because of the tensions between his party and its partners. The problems occurred when the Foreign Ministry, headed by the Social Democrat Titus Corlatean, supported the stand of the European Commission, which had rejected an initiative set forth by the Union of Hungarians in Romania regarding the protection of national minorities. The Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania was co-opted in the coalition in March this year. Since 1996 the union has been present in almost all governments, both on the right on the left side of the political spectrum. The Hungarian community in Romania numbers approximately 1.5 million people, most of them living in the centre and the west of the country.



On Friday the EU added another 11 names to the list of Russian and Ukrainian citizens sanctioned for their role in the Ukrainian crisis.

The EU’s decision was made against the ongoing crisis in the east of the country. On Friday, fighting between pro-Russia separatists and Ukrainian soldiers continued. President Petro Porosenko has said the conditions for a cease fire have not been met yet.
