Romania’s president Klaus Iohannis has invited prime
minister Dacian Ciolos, the governor of the National Bank of Romania Mugur
Isarescu and the leaders of parliamentary parties for a new round of talks on
Monday to discuss the UK vote to leave the European Union. The impact of the UK
referendum on the Romanian financial markets has not been as strong as on the
other states in the region, but this does not mean that it will not be more
serious in the future, said the governor of the National Bank. He emphasised
that the result of the referendum has increased the already high level of
uncertainty on international markets.






President Klaus Iohannis has
expressed his regrets over the death of Romanian-born writer and philosopher
Elie Wiesel. A Holocaust survivor, Wiesel was the recipient of the Nobel Prize
for Peace. In his message of condolence, the president said Elie Wiesel was a
great spirit who opposed tyranny and tirelessly fought for the cause of the
underprivileged. Romania will honour his memory with deep respect, while his
lessons will be a source of moral inspiration, president Iohannis also said. Prime
minister Dacian Ciolos has also deplored the death of Elie Wiesel, describing
him as a messenger of humanity and a tireless voice against violence, oppression
and racism. The foreign ministry in Bucharest said Wiesel had a major
contribution to accepting responsibility and the national history with respect
to the tragedy of the Holocaust. Born in 1928 in Sighetul Marmatiei, in
north-western Romania, into a Jewish family, Wiesel was deported in 1944 by the
Hungarian occupation troops to the concentration camps, where he witnessed the
brutal killing of his father. After the war, he lived in France before settling
in the US in 1963. He received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1986 for his
efforts to keep alive the memory of the Holocaust victims. He visited Romania twice,
and has given his name to the National Institute for the Study of the Holocaust
in Bucharest.




The minister delegate liaising
with Romanians abroad Dan Stoenescu has attended the launch of a programme of
youth camps for Romanians living abroad held in the village of Oglinzi, in
Neamt county, in the north-east. He underlined the programme was a meeting
place for young ethnic Romanians from all corners of the world, including the
historical communities in Romania’s neighbouring countries. The camps are held
during the summer holidays in Oglinzi and the Danube Delta town of Sulina and
targets Romanian school children, students and teachers living in Romania’s
neighbouring countries and the Balkans, as well as in Italy, Spain, Greece,
Canada and the Middle East. More than 2,000 young people are taking part in the
programme, which provides them access to Romanian realities and heritage and
cultural values.




The Romanian men’s handball team today face South Korea
in the finals of the World University Championship held in the Spanish town of
Malaga. They are seen as the favourites after defeating the host country in the
semifinals 29:26. On Saturday, Romania’s women’s side won the silver medal in
this competition, having lost the final to Spain 14:20.




World no. 5 Simona Halep of Romania
plays world no. 9 Madison Keys on Monday in the fourth round at Wimbledon. On
Saturday, in the third round, Halep, who is the only Romanian player still in
competition in the women’s draw, defeated the Dutch player Kiki Bartens in
straight sets.




In the last Euro 2016 quarterfinal, host
country France tonight take on the competition’s surprise Iceland. The winner
of today’s match play world champions Germany in the semifinal. In the other
semifinal, Portugal face Wales, who have qualified for a major tournament for
the first time. Romania were eliminated as early as the group stage. (Translated by: C. Mateescu)
