SPORTS Former Romanian gymnast Catalina Ponor has become Romania’s 12th
athlete to have been included in the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame
during a ceremony hosted by Oklahoma City, the Romanian Gymnastics Federation
announced on Monday. Ponor has thus joined those who have contributed to the
development of this sport discipline such as Tatiana Gutu of Ukraine, Fabian
Hambuechen of Germany and Chelsie Memmel of the USA. Ponor walked away with
five Olympic medals including three gold, which she got in Athens in 2004. Her
prize closet also includes five medals in world championships and eight in
European championships.

slightly going down in southern and south-eastern Romania, which are also going

between 22 and 31 degrees Celsius with a noon reading of 29 in Bucharest. A
code yellow alert for heavy rainfalls and thunderstorms was issued last night
for Bucharest and several other counties in southern Romania. A code yellow

FOOTBALL Romania’s national football side will be taking on
Bosnia-Herzegovina on Tuesday in their Nations League second away match. In

Montenegro, which will be up against Finland on Tuesday. Romania ranks last in
its group with no points.

VISIT Marcel Ciolacu, President of the Chamber of Deputes in Bucharest,
on Monday held talks in Chisinau with Ion Grosu, president of Parliament in the
Republic of Moldova, an ex-Soviet, Romanian-speaking country. According to Ciolacu
the Republic of Moldova doesn’t need military support but needs to make its borders
more secure and Romania must get involved more in this process. Ciolacu has
also said that the place of the Republic of Moldova is in the EU and Romania’s
duty is to help the neighboring country achieve this goal. In turn Igor Grosu
announced a joint session of the two Parliaments to take place in Chisinau.
According to the Moldovan official, talks focused on infrastructure, on ways of
easing cross-border circulation, energy, infrastructure and healthcare. Besides Parliamentary talks, Ciolacu also
has scheduled a series of meetings with the President and Prime Minister of the
Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu and Natalia Gavrilita, respectively.








REFUGEES According to
the Romanian Border Police Inspectorate roughly 7,000 Ukrainian nationals
entered Romania on Sunday, 17% less than the previous day. Since the beginning
of the conflict in the neighboring country, over 1.1 million Ukrainian
nationals have crossed the border into Romania. Out of these, 90 thousand
decided to remain but only 2,000 have got jobs in this country. The Romanian
government wants to offer support to these refugees to help them get
integrated, learn the language, get a job and access to education for their children.
A national plan for the social inclusion of these refugees could be approved
this week.








SHIP The Romanian
training ship Mircea today sets sail at Constanta, Romania’s main Black Sea port,
for its second international training voyage. The mission, which is devoted to
celebrating 150 years of Romanian sailing education, involves the participation
of Romanian cadets from the ‘Mircea cel Batran’ Navy Academy and their foreign
counterparts from Britain, Poland, Bulgaria and the United States. During the
two-month voyage, the ship is expected to moor in five ports on the Mediterranean
– Augusta, Genoa, Vallencia, Valletta and Alexandria.
