Romanian president Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday said the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) is a respected and credible partner in the Euro-Atlantic intelligence community and that the institution contributes to Romania’s image of a security provider in the region. Attending the presentation of the SRI report on 2015, president Iohannis praised the institution’s contribution to the fight against corruption and organized crime. The SRI did its duty completely, efficiently and with seriousness, Iohannis went on to say. In turn, the institution’s chief Eduard Hellvig said that almost 350 people running the risk of getting involved in terrorist activities were expelled or were refused entry into Romania last year alone. Among the institution’s challenges is the refugee inflow, Russia’s aggressiveness, the instability of the neighboring Ukraine and the lack of predictability in the Republic of Moldova, an ex-soviet Romanian-speaking state close to Romania. There is room for improvement in terms of the institution’s transparency and managing its own resources, the SRI head admitted.

According to the document, among the seven fields requiring immediate intervention, there are the demographic transition, healthcare, education and the brain drain. Present at the event, deputy Prime Minister Costin Borc said that such reports are helping the government to improve its activity.
