The series of ceremonies kicked off at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Carol Park in Bucharest in the presence of the Romanian president Klaus Iohannis, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and the Senate President Nicolae Ciuca. The Romanian army is the main pillar of the national defence system, president Iohannis said highlighting that it must continue to benefit \u2018a solid financial ground\u2019 significantly over 2% of the GDP. The Day of 25 October has been celebrated since 1959. We recall that on 25 October 1944 the Romanian Army liberated the north-western part of the country occupied by Hungary upon the Vienna Dictate in August 1940. In WWII, Romania\u2019s war effort consisted of the deployment of 540 thousand troops, out of which 90 thousand lost their lives, roughly 60 thousand were reported MIA and over 330 thousand got wounded. After liberating the national territory, the Romanian army continued to fight on the territories of Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Austria alongside the Allies contributing to the Great Victory on 9 May, which marked the end of WWII in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ELECTIONS<\/strong> The campaign for the first round of the presidential election in Romania has kicked off and is due to end on November 23.
