DRONE NATO
\ndoes not have any indication that the drone debris found on the Romanian
\nterritory was caused by an intentional attack launched by Moscow, the
\nAlliance’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said before the European
\nParliament on Thursday adding that they are waiting for the outcome of an
\nongoing investigation, Reuters reports.
\nThe North-Atlantic Alliance had previously voiced its strong solidarity
\nwith Romania, after being informed on the incident close to this country’s border
\nwith Ukraine. We are going to closely monitor the situation and keep in touch
\nwith our ally, Romania, NATO says. According to Romania’s president Klaus
\nIohannis, provided the drone is confirmed as belonging to Russia, the incident
\nis tantamount to a severe violation of the sovereignty and territorial
\nintegrity of Romania. A day before, the Romanian official had said ‘there was
\nno part of a drone or any other device to have reached Romania’.<\/p>\n

\nthis year, will this month be staging a series of outdoor events, such as concerts,
\nexhibitions, the famous festival Plai and a medieval one suggestively entitled
\nThrough Fire and Sword. The latter, which kicks off on Friday at the local
\nVillage Museum, is a time travel through the history of Europe from its ancient
\ndays to the modern time. This reenactment will be brought to life by various
\nspecialized groups of actors from Romania and abroad who are going to don
\nvintage costumes and carry old weapons, like swords, scimitars, battle axes and
\nguns in an attempt to recreate with great accuracy the atmosphere of Europe’s
\nmedieval burgs and not only. Visitors will be able to participate in various
\nworkshops of archeology, stone-carving and pottery.<\/p>\n
