The meeting was also attended by regional powers.&#13;<br \/>\nThe US suspended bilateral talks with Moscow over the latter&#8217;s support for&#13;<br \/>\nBashar al-Assad&#8217;s regime in the Aleppo offensive. According to the Syrian&#13;<br \/>\nObservatory for Human Rights, more than 300,000 people have been killed in the&#13;<br \/>\nconflict in Syria since it began in March 2011.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>EU.<\/strong> Romania&#8217;s president Klaus Iohannis will next week take part in a meeting&#13;<br \/>\nof the European Council in Brussels, said the president&#8217;s spokeswoman Madalina Dobrovolschi. She said the talks, to be held on&#13;<br \/>\nThursday and Friday, will focus on migration, trade policy and the Union&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nexternal relations, in particular with the Russian Federation. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Turkey.<\/strong> The foreign ministry&#13;<br \/>\nin Bucharest has informed Romanian citizens travelling to or transiting Turkey&#13;<br \/>\nthat this country&#8217;s Parliament has endorsed a government decision to extend the&#13;<br \/>\nstate of emergency by another three months starting on October 19th.&#13;<br \/>\nUnder the circumstances and given that the security situation is still&#13;<br \/>\nunstable, in particular in and around Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir, as well as&#13;<br \/>\nother big cities in Turkey, the Romanian ministry has reiterated a warning for&#13;<br \/>\nRomanian citizens to remain cautious and vigilant and avoid involvement in&#13;<br \/>\ndemonstrations or other public events that may degenerate into violence. On&#13;<br \/>\nFriday, rockets landed in the Turkish province resort of Antalya, the favourite&#13;<br \/>\ntourist destination for Romanians holidaying in Turkey. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>NATO.<\/strong> A meeting of defence ministers from NATO and partner&#13;<br \/>\nstates, the first since the Warsaw summit, will be held in Bucharest between&#13;<br \/>\nthe 19th and the 21st of October. The Strategic Military&#13;<br \/>\nPartner Conference will be coordinated by the Allied Command Transformation&#13;<br \/>\nlocated in Norfolk, the US. 350 officials from NATO and partner countries are&#13;<br \/>\nexpected to attend the event in Bucharest.

According to the&#13;<br \/>\nruling party, they will decide whether the country continues to come closer to&#13;<br \/>\nthe European Union and NATO or moves in the direction of Russia. Prime minister&#13;<br \/>\nMilo Djukanovic&#8217;s party claims the&#13;<br \/>\nopposition is funded by Russia, an accusation the latter denies. On the other&#13;<br \/>\nhand, the opposition has accused the government of corruption and rising crime&#13;<br \/>\nrates. The Democratic Party of Socialists has been in power for 27 years in&#13;<br \/>\nMontenegro. We recall that some of this country&#8217;s territory came under NATO&#13;<br \/>\nbombardment while it was still part of Yugoslavia, in 1999. After its&#13;<br \/>\nseparation from Serbia, Montenegro moved closer to NATO and last year received&#13;<br \/>\nan invitation to join this organisation. The country&#8217;s links with Serbia&#13;<br \/>\nremain, however, close, as well as its cultural and commercial ties with Russia.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Boxing.<\/strong> The Romanian&#13;<br \/>\nboxer Cristian Ciocan won the European WBO heavyweight title after&#13;<br \/>\nwining a points victory against the Turkish boxer Erkan Teper in a professional&#13;<br \/>\nboxing gala held on Saturday night in Hamburg, Germany. Ciocan was declared a&#13;<br \/>\nwinner after 12 rounds. Aged 29, his win-loss record is 20-4. He also held the&#13;<br \/>\nWBO title three years ago and hopes to win the world title next year. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Handball.<\/strong> The Romanian women&#8217;s handball champions CSM Bucharest today face the&#13;<br \/>\nRussian side Rostov-Don in their first Champions League group match.
