According to Radio Romania correspondent, Ciolacu voiced concern regarding the security situation and the danger of regional escalation. The Romanian Prime Minister paid a working visit in Israel where he was accompanied by the Ministers of Defence, Foreign Affairs and Economy. It was the second visit, Ciolacu paid to Israel since October 17<sup>th<\/sup> last year, ten days after Israel had been attacked by the Islamist group Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DONATION<\/strong> The Romanian president Klaus Iohannis on Thursday promulgated a law on donating a US surface-to-air Patriot missile system to third parties. The law, which was earlier endorsed by Parliament, refers to the donation, agreed upon with the US partner, of such a system to the neighboring Ukraine, a country currently invaded by the Russian troops. The new law enables the Romanian government to commence the required moves aimed at rebuilding the country\u2019s ground-based air-defence capabilities by submitting the contracts on the purchase of another Patriot missile system to the US government.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TOURISM<\/strong> The total number of tourists who got accommodation in Romania\u2019s travel structures in the first seven months of this year stood at 7.666 million, 3.8% higher than the same period in 2023, data released by the National Institute for Statistics shows. According to official statistics, between January 1 and July 31 2024, Romanian tourists accounted for 82.9 % out of the total number of arrivals, whereas the number of foreign tourists stood at 17.1%. The cities with the largest number of visitors were Bucharest, Constanta in the south-east and Brasov in central Romania. Most of the foreign tourists came from Germany (128,900), Italy (117,800) and Israel (83,100). 81.1 % of the foreign tourists came from EU countries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MOLDOVA<\/strong>\u00a0Moldova\u2019s EU accession process would make good progress next year during Poland\u2019s term at the helm of the EU Council, Poland\u2019s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said during his Wednesday\u2019s visit to Chi\u0219in\u0103u. The Polish official met his Moldovan counterpart, Dorin Recean, and held a speech in Parliament in Romanian, boycotted by the pro-Russian opposition. Donald Tusk then met the president of Moldova, Maia Sandu, who argued that Poland is a clear example of how EU integration can transform a country. The presidents of Romania and Baltic States also paid visits to Chi\u0219in\u0103u last week to express support for Moldova\u2019s EU accession efforts. In October, the Republic of Moldova will host a referendum regarding the country\u2019s EU accession, jointly with the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOOTBALL<\/strong> Romania\u2019s national football team is playing its debut match in the 2024-2025 season of Nations League on Friday. In the first group fixture, Romania will play Kosovo away from home, while on September 9 it will take on Lithuania at home. Romania\u2019s group, C2, also includes Cyprus.
