This is Hogan\u2019s first visit to Romania after he took over the agriculture protfolio from Romanian Dacian Ciolos. The European official will hold talks with Prime Minister Victor Ponta, Agriculture  Minister Daniel Constantin and with members of the Parliament\u2019s commitees for agriculture and European affairs.

The approval is to be formally granted this June.

The meeting\u2019s agenda includes topics related to bilateral ties, from economic, political and military perspectives. Security issues in general and the situation in Ukraine in particular will also be tackled. On Friday, President Iohannis will have a meeting with Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz. The relationship with Poland is a priority for Romania at both European and Euro-Atlantic level and it is consolidated by a strategic partnership, with the two countries having supported each other at crucial moments, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday before leaving for Warsaw. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=line-height: 20.7999992370605px;>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=line-height: 20.7999992370605px;>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Anti-corruption prosecutors have today searched the Bucharest Sector 5 mayor\u2019s office and the home of the Sector 5 mayor, Marian Vanghelie, suspected of corruption.

It happened just hours after the citys police chief quit following a damning justice report into his department, which detailed the racist practices of the Ferguson police and municipality. With a population of 21,000, mostly African Americans, Ferguson was the scene of violent protests last August, when Michael Brown, an unarmed, African American teenager had been shot and killed by a white police officer. The incident triggered nationwide protests.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><span style=line-height: 1.6em;>The euro continues to depreciate, going below the level of 1.06 US dollars for the first time in 12 years, after the European Central Bank started its asset purchase program<\/span><span style=line-height: 1.6em;> on Monday. Experts say the<\/span><span style=line-height: 1.6em;> ECB \u2018s plan to purchase every month<\/span><span style=line-height: 1.6em;> assets worth 60 billion euros dilutes the single currency\u2019s value. Moreover, the euro is also affected by uncertainties regarding the economic situation of Greece. The Euro will continue to drop against other currencies in the upcoming period as well. Its<\/span><span style=line-height: 1.6em;> depreciation is also caused by the American economy showing signs of improvement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Pandurii Targu Jiu and Steaua Bucharest are the football sides to take on each other in the League Cup\u2019s Finals.
