Philip.<\/strong> Romania stands with the Royal Family and the British people in
\nthis time of sorrow, tweeted Romanian president Klaus Iohannis after hearing
\nabout the passing of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the husband of Queen
\nElizabeth. The Royal family of Romania conveyed their unspeakable sadness at
\nthe news and recalled in a Facebook post that Prince Philip and King Michael,
\nwho were born on the same year, were cousins and maintained a lifelong
\nfriendship. All generations in the Romanian and British Royal
\nFamilies have been close, but for today’s generation, Queen Elizabeth II and
\nPrince Philip remain as spiritual models, fundamental sources of
\ninspiration, the post also reads. Prince Philip died
\naged 99, Buckingham Palace announced on Friday. The death came three weeks
\nafter the prince was released from hospital, where he had been treated for a
\nmonth for an infection and then a heart problem. He was with Queen Elizabeth in
\nsome of the most challenging moments of her 69-year long reign, the longest in
\nBritish history. Born in 1921 in Corfu, in Greece, Philip was also Prince of
\nGreece and Denmark. He became a British citizen in 1947 and gave up his claim
\non the Greek and Danish thrones. He married the future Queen Elizabeth on 20th
\nNovember 1947 at Westminster Abbey. He served in the Royal Navy until Elizabeth
\nbecame queen, in 1952. From then on, he accompanied her on her official and
\npublic duties and was also involved in many charitable causes. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Aid.<\/strong> Romania sent
\n310,000 protective masks to Serbia, to help the authorities in this
\nneighbouring country cope with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The
\nmasks are part of a strategic medical equipment reserve set up at EU level in
\nthe context of the sanitary crisis. This reserve is hosted by a number of
\nEuropean countries, Romania included. The medical equipment was purchased by
\nRomania based on a 10-million euro loan signed with the European Commission. A
\nconvoy of the Arad Inspectorate for Emergencies is ensuring the transport,
\nwhose cost will be entirely covered by the Commission through the EU’s Civil
\nProtection Mechanism.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Corruption.<\/strong> The
\nNational Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA) has requested the Senate to green light
\nthe prosecution of the Social Democratic senator Florian Bodog. The request is
\nnow in the Senate’s Legal Committee, which has until Monday to make a
\npreliminary assessment of the document. According to anti-corruption
\nprosecutors, during his tenure as minister, Bodog arranged for a person
\nemployed as a personal advisor to receive her salary rights for a period of 12
\nmonths without actually going to work and without performing the activities
\nrequired by the job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n <\/p>\n

Deficit.<\/strong>
\nRomania recorded a trade deficit of 3 billion euros in the first two months of
\nthe year, up 455.9 million euros as against the same period of 2020, according
\nto the National Statistics Institute (NSI). Between January 1 and February 28,
\n2021, exports accounted for almost 11.2 billion euros, while imports stood at
\n14.2 billion euros. Exports went down by 3.7% while imports went up by 0.2%
