VISIT Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday hailed the decision to launch in Bucharest a series of debates over the relocation of Romania’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Netanyahu has made the statement during the meeting he had with his Romanian counterpart Viorica Dancila who is currently paying a visit to Israel. The two heads of government have mentioned the traditional friendship relations between their countries highlighting the excellent level of the bilateral relations. The Romanian Prime Minister has voiced satisfaction over the interest shown by the Israeli side in the conclusion of a partnership in the field of new technologies, which will allow for new joint projects that may whet the interest of the two business communities. Aspects related to cooperation in the military, strategic and cyber-security fields have also been tackled. The Romanian Prime Minister’s agenda on Wednesday also included a visit to the Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem and a meeting with the leftist opposition leader Yitzhak Herzog. On Thursday the Romanian Prime Minister is to be received by Israeli president Reuven Rivlin and is expected to meet the Greek-Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem. According to Romanian government sources, Dancila’s visit to Israel is part of a series of political-diplomatic contracts destined to mark the anniversary of 70 years since the foundation of Israel, 70 years of uninterrupted bilateral relations and 100 years since the foundation of modern Romania.




BANK Both the government and Romania’s Central Bank should avoid any competition-type approaches — Romanian president Klaus Iohannis said on Wednesday at the end of his meeting with Central Bank governor Mugur Isarescu and with first deputy governor Florin Georgescu. The president underlined the Bank’s independence in decision-making regarding the monetary policy was essential at the same time pleading for the coordination of economic policies so that measures taken by the authorities may not be subordinated to certain interests. The president is to meet Prime Minister Viorica Dancila and Finance Minister Eugen Teodorovici on Friday. He earlier said he would try to mediate between the government and the Central Bank after representatives of the PSD-ALDE executive had criticized some statements made by Bank officials.




POLL A recent poll in Chisinau, the capital of the Republic of Moldova, reveals that 55% of Moldovans want to unite with Romania. 80,000 people participated in the research. March 27th was the 100th anniversary of the union of Bessarabia and Romania. Bessarabia was a Czarist Empire province with a majority Romanian population, later annexed by the Soviet Union in June 1940, creating on its territory the present Republic of Moldova.
