Romania will plead at the NATO summit starting today in Warsaw for NATO’s increased attention to the Black Sea area and for ensuring a balanced allied military presence on the entire eastern flank. The Romanian President Klaus Iohannis will also point to the importance of fully complying with the commitments made at the previous summit held in Great Britain. According to Radio Romania’s correspondent, the allies will make important decisions regarding the security of the Alliance and will decide on the deployment of 4 battalions in the northern part of the eastern flank and of a multinational brigade in Romania. NATO will also take additional measures for cyber security, civilian training and defense against ballistic missiles coming from outside the Euro-Atlantic area. At the summit, a common NATO-EU declaration will be signed that will contribute to the structuring of the strategic partnership between the two organizations.



The latest data on migration within the European Union are being presented Friday in Brussels. The data were collected and included in a report of the European Asylum Support Office, an agency of the EU that has been operational since 2011. According to the report, most of the asylum seekers are people from Syria, the Western Balkan countries and Afghanistan. The main countries that received applications for international protection were Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Austria and Italy. Other issues in the report refer to the relocation program, which supports Italy and Greece in the first place. The report includes data which shows that the number of applications for unaccompanied minors increased 4 times as well as data on the operational support granted to Greece, Italy, Bulgaria and Cyprus.



Three Romanian military ships are taking part in the BREEZE 16 multinational drill, unfolding between July 11- 17 in Bulgaria’s territorial waters and in the Black Sea international waters, the Romanian Navy Chief of Staff announced. The ships are “Queen Marie” frigate with a 240-strong military crew, “Sub-Lieutenant Alexandru AXENTE” Maritime Dragon, a ship fighting sea mines and the “Lastun” missile carrier ship with a 60-strong military crew. The Romanian military ships are part of the joint forces made available to NATO by Romania, and the participation of the Romanian marines in the NATO drills contribute to the consolidation of interoperability between ship crews and the partners’ similar military structures.



In Romania, more than 3 million employees (65% of the total of 4.7 million) have monthly salaries below 440 euros, which means their salaries are below the current level of the average salary, show data centralized by the Ziarul Financiar daily. As many as 1.3 million employees (27% of the total number of employees) have wages ranging from 443 to 885 euros per month. Only 7% of the local employees have monthly wages of more than 885 euros. They work as experts in such fields as banking, IT, air transport, oil extraction and the tobacco industry. The net average salary in Romania reached 456 euros this May, which is 14% more than in the same month of 2015, show data published in Thursday by the National Institute of Statistics. A Romanian employee earns 5 times less, on an average, than an EU employee.



Five Dallas police officers have been killed and several wounded by gunmen during protests against the recent shooting of two black men by police in the states of Minnesota (North) and Louisiana (South). The victims did not oppose resistance in either of the cases. Both incidents were followed by protests of the black community and by explanations provided by the law enforcement authorities, which however did not persuade the public opinion. President Barack Obama had previously said that internal bias had to be rooted out from the justice system.
