Drones – Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu stated, on Monday, in relation to the Russian drones that entered the national airspace, that Romania had a real-time reaction and monitored the situation with F16 planes, noting that these drones had no targets on Romanian territory. On the night of Saturday to Sunday, a Russian drone entered Romania’s airspace, after which it headed towards Ukraine, the Romanian Defense Ministry reported. In response, two F-16 fighter jets took off urgently from a military base in the southeast of the country to monitor the aerial situation. At the same time, the institution informed that it had deployed ground teams and aerial means in the area of ​​Periprava, in Tulcea county, where pieces of the drones used by Russia in the attack on port facilities in Ukraine, located near the border with Romania, fell. Following this incident, the Romanian authorities protested against the repeated violation of the country’s airspace, as well as against the repeated attacks against the Ukrainian population and civil infrastructure.

 

School – Schools must be absolutely safe for students, the teaching staff and the rest of the education staff, President Klaus Iohannis said on Monday, at the opening ceremony of the new school year at a college in Bucharest. Attending the event together with the education minister, Ligia Deca, the head of state emphasized that one of the priority objectives of the “Educated Romania” project, transposed into the education laws of 2023, was the creation of a school and university environment that is not only conducive to educational development, but it is also a space where all those involved feel protected and respected. Approximately three million Romanian preschoolers and pupils started a new school year on Monday. The government promises that the 2024-2025 school year will be the last in which students go to school in three shifts. Currently, there are only 19 such units in Bucharest and in Ilfov county (near Bucharest). According to the Education Ministry, at the beginning of the school year, 800 schools are relocated for reasons of rehabilitation, modernization or construction out of the total of over 6,000 schools in Romania.

 

Order – The presence of law enforcement was ensured, on the first day of school, at every educational unit in Romania, in order to maintain the climate of order and public safety, the spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry, Monica Dajbog, announced. She specified that approximately 25,000 employees of the ministry were mobilized at the national level within the framework of public order and security corps, and, distinctly, approximately 8,000 people from the ministry were present at the pre-university education units. Also, the traffic police intensified their activities in the area of ​​educational institutions. Road crews acted to streamline traffic and prevent accidents, paying special attention to situations that may endanger children. Monica Dajbog also said that actions to prevent and combat drug trafficking and consumption among young people remained a priority.
