Meeting. Romanian prime minister Marcel Ciolacu said that by the end of the year, Romanians will no longer need visas to travel to the US, can hold dual citizenship if they live in Spain and will fully join Schengen. “This is the timetable”, said Ciolacu. He previously had talks with the Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez, having also attended together a meeting of the Socialist International – Europe. Prime minister Sanchez is the president of the Socialist International. In April, the Social Democratic Party hosted in Bucharest the leaders conference of the Party of European Socialists and a month earlier, its coalition partner, the National Liberal Party, hosted the congress of the European People’s Party.

 

Alert. Alerts were issued this morning in 16 localities in Tulcea county, in south-eastern Romania, warning of potential objects falling from the sky, especially drone parts, in the context of the war in the neighbouring Ukraine. The alerts are informing the population that Romania is not targeted by the attacks and that people should not panic, but follow the advice of the authorities, call the emergency number 112 and report falling objects if they see them. The authorities began sending such alerts last autumn, when parts of drones used in Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s Danube ports fell in Tulcea county. Romania’s defence structures are keeping a close eye on the situation in the border area.

 

Travel. Travel restrictions will be imposed from next Wednesday on the Bulgarian section of the Giurgiu-Ruse bridge between Romania and Bulgaria, on account of infrastructure rehabilitation works. The Romanian foreign ministry issued a statement advising Romanian citizens to drive cautiously and respect traffic signs. The works will last two years, with traffic to be conducted only on one lane. Another decision that will affect road travel is the closure of traffic on the Valea Oltului national road, a very busy road that connects the south to the centre of the country. Travel will be closed during the day between 6 am and 8 pm from 8th July to 9th August. 20,000 trees will be cut on the mountain sides bordering the road in order to build the Sibiu-Pitesti motorway.

 

Festival. Today is the third day of the NEVERSEA music festival taking place in Constanţa, on the Black Sea coast. The line-up today features such acts as Salvatore Ganacci and Dimitri Vegas. 62,000 people attended the first day of the festival, while Friday saw a record 75,000, said the organisers.NEVERSEA, which is Europe’s biggest music festival held on a beach, began on Thursday and comes to an end on Sunday. 100 acts are taking part, both local and international stars, including the likes of Inna, Maluma, Nick Carter, G-Eazy, Bebe Rexha, DJ Snake, Steve Aoki and Mahmut Orhan.
