These tactics are intolerable and must be firmly condemned,&#8221; the head of state wrote on social media. He stated that Romania will continue to ensure that the projects under the <em>Eastern Flank Watch<\/em> initiative become operational in complementarity with NATO initiatives, to ensure European defence and security.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This project\u2014which originated from the idea of an \u201canti-drone wall,\u201d initially proposed last September by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen\u2014aims to protect the countries closest to Russia from aerial incursions. According to Euractiv, on Monday, during an informal meeting of defence ministers in Cyprus, EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius also called on European capitals to finalize proposals for projects of common interest by the end of this month and to prioritize the <em>Eastern Flank Watch<\/em> initiative.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder, the incident in Gala\u021bi took place on the night of May 28\u201329. At that time, a Russian-made Geran-2 drone struck an apartment building and exploded, injuring two people and causing property damage. A week after this incident, on June 5, a maritime drone discovered in the Romanian port of Constan\u021ba on the Black Sea self-detonated, causing no casualties. The Ukrainian Navy confirmed that it was a Ukrainian drone that had gone out of control due to jamming by Russian electronic warfare systems, causing the drone to veer off course and drift toward the Romanian coast.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Bucharest, the General Prosecutor\u2019s Office announced that it has expanded the investigation into the case of the maritime drone in the Port of Constan\u021ba to include charges of destruction resulting in particularly serious consequences, in addition to the initial charges of violating regulations governing weapons, ammunition, and explosive materials. Previously, on June 5, prosecutors from the Constanta\u00a0 Prosecutor\u2019s Office initiated an investigation ex officio after the presence of the military device was reported in the port area. The case was taken over by the Constanta Court of Appeals Prosecutor\u2019s Office, which ordered the initiation of criminal proceedings in rem to establish all the facts of the case.
