SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Romania and Bulgaria partially joined Europe’s ID-check-free travel zone on Sunday, marking a new step in the two countries’ integration with the European Union. After years of negotiations to join the Schengen area, there is now free access for travelers arriving by air or sea from both countries. The Schengen Area was established in 1985. Before Bulgaria and Romania’s admission, it was comprised of 23 of the 27 EU member countries, along with Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Truck drivers are frequently stuck in kilometers-long queues at the borders of both Romania and Bulgaria.

CHISINAU, Moldova (AP) — Moldovans are casting ballots in nationwide local elections on Sunday as authorities say that Russia has been conducting “hybrid warfare” to undermine the vote in the European Union candidate country. While local elections in Moldova, a country of about 2.5 million people situated between Romania and Ukraine, wouldn't usually garner much international attention, ongoing accusations of Russian meddling add a geopolitical dimension to the vote. On Friday, Moldova’s national intelligence agency published a report alleging that Russia was trying to “influence the electoral process” through the party. Shor was the head of the Russia-friendly Shor Party, which was declared unconstitutional in June by Moldova’s Constitutional Court. “Russia has always been trying to undermine democratic elections in Moldova, particularly in an effort to derail European integration aspirations,” Cantir said.

Moscow aims to disrupt Ukraine's ability to export grain to world markets with a sustained campaign of attacks targeting Ukrainian Danube ports, and has attacked the port of Izmail four times this week, Ukrainian officials say. Across from Izmail, pieces apparently from a drone were found near the Romanian village of Plauru, Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tilvar said Wednesday. “In the first phase (of the war) things were calmer, but now it has come to our territory,” she said. “We are worried because nobody can guarantee that (a drone) won’t fall on our side of the river,” he said. Beyond trying to calm us down, the authorities can’t do much about it.”___Stephen McGrath reported from Sighisoara, Romania.

Cele mai vechi orașe din România cu istorie neîntreruptă, locuite și în prezentÎn România există orașe foarte vechi, care au o istorie neîntreruptă de-a lungul timpului, sute și chiar mii de ani. Așezarea a fost înteeiată de coloniștii germani, invitați în Transilvania de regele Geza al II-lea. După cucerirea romană a Daciei, Apoulonul a fost transformat în castru roman, numit Apulum. Treptat, Alba Iulia a devenit unul dintre cele mai importante centre urbane din Regatul Ungariei. Ulterior, la 1 noiembrie 1599, Mihai Viteazul a intrat în Alba Iulia și a înfăptuit prima unire politică a celor trei principate românești.

Compania Porsche a promovat România într-un clip de prezentare al modelului electric Taycan. Constructorul german a dus în mai multe locuri din România un Porsche Taycan, printre care nelipsitul Transfăgărășan, potrivit pentru o mașină sport, cetatea Sighișoara sau litoralul românesc. În clipul Discover the Unknown – Taycan Road Trip – The Beauty of Romania, compania a surprins imagini spectaculoase cu drona și a discutat cu mai multe persoane, printre care un bucătar-șef, o jurnalistă și miliardarul Ion Țiriac. Deși cel mai ieftin model costă puțin peste 100 000 de dolari, cererea pentru Porsche Taycan este atât de mare încât producătorul auto german împrumută angajați de la compania mamă, Audi, pentru a face față.
