The highest number of new cases were in Bucharest, 352,&#13;<br \/>\nfollowed by Iasi and Bacau counties. 476 people are in intensive care. Among the&#13;<br \/>\nRomanian nationals living abroad, 6.599have&#13;<br \/>\ncontracted the virus, mostly in Germany, Italy and Spain, and 126 have died. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Forum.<\/strong> The&#13;<br \/>\nEuropean Union is still divided with respect to defence and military industry -&#13;<br \/>\nwas the conclusion of discussions on day two of the Black Sea and Balkans&#13;<br \/>\nSecurity Forum organised in Bucharest by the New Strategy Center with the support&#13;<br \/>\nof the foreign affairs&#13;<br \/>\nand defence ministries. Talks looked at all types of security risks and threats&#13;<br \/>\nin the Black Sea region and the Balkans, including those arising in the context&#13;<br \/>\nof the coronavirus pandemic. On day one of the forum on Friday, the Romanian&#13;<br \/>\ndefence minister Nicolae Ciuca warned that the Black Sea is one of NATO&#8217;s most&#13;<br \/>\nvulnerable regions and that the entire region has become the place where NATO&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\ncredibility and defence and deterrence posture are most frequently tested. Ukraine&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\ndefence minister Andriy Taran, who attended the forum,&#13;<br \/>\nrequested Romania&#8217;s expert assistance to improve Ukraine&#8217;s defence planning and&#13;<br \/>\ncapabilities and boost the interoperability of Ukraine&#8217;s troops with those of&#13;<br \/>\nNATO. On Saturday, the&#13;<br \/>\ndefence ministers of Romania and Ukraine signed an inter-governmental agreement&#13;<br \/>\nfor technical and military cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>UN. <\/strong>The Romanian foreign minister&#13;<br \/>\nBogdan Aurescu on Friday addressed an informal UN Security Council meeting held&#13;<br \/>\nonline on the human rights situation in Belarus, a meeting initiated by Estonia&#13;<br \/>\nand backed by Romania alongside the UK, the US, Canada, Denmark, Iceland,&#13;<br \/>\nLatvia, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine. Aurescu said Romania would continue to&#13;<br \/>\ncall on the Belarus authorities and their supporters to put an end to&#13;<br \/>\nrepression and intimidation, to engage in genuine dialogue with the opposition&#13;<br \/>\nand civil society, to stop unfounded accusations against neighbouring states&#13;<br \/>\nand to act responsibly to achieve social peace and prosperity based on&#13;<br \/>\ndemocracy and respect for fundamental rights in a free, independent and&#13;<br \/>\nsovereign Belarus. Bucharest is also in favour of EU sanctions against those&#13;<br \/>\nresponsible for repression and for rigging the elections and is looking for&#13;<br \/>\nways to support civil society and the free press in Belarus, the Romanian&#13;<br \/>\nminister also said. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Energy. <\/strong>Romania exported on Saturday&#13;<br \/>\naround 1,500 MW of electricity following a large production of wind energy.&#13;<br \/>\nThis form of energy accounted for more than 32% of the total amount of&#13;<br \/>\nelectricity generated on Saturday nationwide, while the country&#8217;s nuclear power&#13;<br \/>\nplant accounted for 17%, its hydropower plants for some 17%, coal for 13%,&#13;<br \/>\nphotovoltaic systems for 9%, hydrocarbons for 9% and biomass for 0.5%. The&#13;<br \/>\nlarge output of wind energy is the result of the strong winds in Constanta and&#13;<br \/>\nTulcea counties in the south-east, where most of Romania&#8217;s windmills are. Romania&#13;<br \/>\nalso exported wind energy on Friday, after a summer dominated by imports. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Enescu competition.<\/strong> 13 young cellists&#13;<br \/>\nfrom 54 participants reached the second stage of the George Enescu International&#13;<br \/>\nCompetition.

This year&#8217;s edition of the&#13;<br \/>\nGeorge Enescu International Competition, which was due to take place between 29th&#13;<br \/>\nAugust and 20th September, has been reorganised because of the&#13;<br \/>\npandemic into two separate events: the first two stages are held online in&#13;<br \/>\nSeptember, as initially scheduled, while the semifinals and the finals in each&#13;<br \/>\ncategory will be held in May next year.
