The event is being attended by representatives of the countries in the EU and in the Western Balkans, which have been affected by this phenomenon in the past year. Even if Romania was not confronted with the phenomenon, the country was invited to participate thanks to the contribution it made at the European level in handling the issue. At the end of the visit he paid to New York, where he participated in the UN General Assembly, Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos said at the end of this week that Romania continues to support the idea of fighting illegal migration by imposing a tight control at the EUs foreign borders. In an interview with Romanian news agency Agerpress, Ciolos said the main way in which Europe could stem the refugee tide is by getting involved in settling the conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESIGNATION<\/strong> Romanian senator Gabriel Oprea, former deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, who is currently facing charges of manslaughter said that he would resign from Parliament the next week. On Monday his Senate colleagues turned down a prosecution request from the National Anti-corruption Directorate for Oprea a move that triggered protest rallies in Romanias major cities. We recall the former Interior Minister has been placed under investigation after a police officer from his motorcade was killed in a road accident.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENVIRONMENT<\/strong> Famous American actor Leonardo DiCaprio has posted an Instagram message in support of actions aimed at protecting environment in Romania. The actor said the government in Bucharest should protect forests from illegal logging and destruction. DiCaprio has congratulated Greenpeace volunteers who cleaned the waste from forests in central Romania. In 1998, the actor founded a foundation that develops projects for the protection of the environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONCERT<\/strong> The Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra of China on Friday night opened the third edition of the International Radio Orchestras Festival \u2013 RadiRo, staged by Radio Romania in Bucharest.
