Forum. <\/strong>The European Union must be
\nprepared in the future to give more convincing answers about its role in the
\nBalkans and the Black Sea region, said the Romanian foreign minister Bogdan
\nAurescu at the end of a security forum held in Bucharest. He added that the
\nUnion should pay more attention to its neighbourhood, citing as an example the
\nBlack Sea area, where there are a number of sources of insecurity, from the open
\nconflict in eastern Ukraine and the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia to
\nthe growing militarisation of the Black Sea. The Romanian minister also warned about
\nwhat he called infodemic, an epidemic of disinformation and fake news. He
\nsaid everything has become geo-politicised, including vaccines, treatments,
\nscience and expertise, even citizens’ private lives and convictions. The Black
\nSea and Balkans Security Forum held on Friday and Saturday in Bucharest and
\norganised by the New Strategy Center with the support of the Romanian foreign
\naffairs and defence ministries looked at all types of security
\nrisks and threats in the Black Sea region and the Balkans, including those
\narising in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

EU.<\/strong> The European Commission has
\nrequested its members to coordinate their responses to the coronavirus pandemic and to communicate them
\nclearly within the Union. The commission president Ursula von der Leyen emphasised
\nthe need for predictability, especially with respect to decisions that restrict
\nthe freedom of movement, a reference to the border restrictions imposed
\nrecently by Hungary. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control is
\nto publish a weekly updated map based on information from member states. The
\nmap will show countries in colours, green, orange or red, depending on their
\nepidemiological situation. The European Commission has also proposed testing
\ntravellers after they cross the border to improve freedom of movement and setting a common
\ninfection rate level at which EU member states could start imposing
\nrestrictions. <\/p>\n

\nspecial coronavirus commission in India. The Timisoara centre may collaborate
\nwith India to mass produce the vaccine that Romanian researchers are working
