EU presidency.<\/strong> The Romanian interior minister Carmen
\nDan is to present a meeting of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council in
\nBrussels with the programme of Romania’s presidency of the Council of the
\nEuropean Union between 1st January and 30th June 2019.
\nThe priorities include consolidating the Union’s internal security, the
\nmanagement of its external borders, migration and combating online
\nradicalisation. The Romanian official supports a stronger role for Frontex in
\nmanaging migration and securing external borders and says she will give
\npriority to combating terrorist content online based on the principle of
\ncommunity policing, which is meant to facilitate the relationship between
\nsecurity forces and expat communities in the EU states. Romania has notable
\nexpertise in this field, as the Romanian police are taking part in operative
\nmissions in states such as Italy, Spain, France and Bulgaria, says the
\nRomanian interior ministry. The next meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs
\nCouncil will take place in Bucharest between the 6th and the 8th
