In turn the team from Gheorgheni ousted Corona Brasov, the defending Romanian champions, aggregate score 4-3. The tiebreaking game was played in Brasov.



    After its win in the quarterfinals, the team from Gheorgheni had a bad start in the semis, losing the first two games to SC Miercurea Ciuc, both played away from home. On Sunday, Miercurea Ciuc won 4-3 in a match played before an empty stand. On Monday, the team from Miercurea Ciuc won again 3-1. The only spectators allowed in the stands were the regular 900 subscribers, considering the Government has decided to limit to a 1,000 the maximum number of fans that can attend public events, as a measure to limit the spread of COVID-19.



    In the other Erste Liga semi-final, two Hungarian teams are playing: Ferencvaros and Ujpest Budapest. The score is 2-nil for Ferencvaros after the first two games played on Sunday and Monday. Ferencvaros won 6-3 and 3-1, respectively. The next games are slated for Thursday and Friday. The semi-finals are played in the best-out-of-seven-matches system.



    Let us further note that CSM Galati is the leader of the domestic ice hockey championship, with 73 points in 26 games. Miercurea Ciuc is in second position with 72 points in 30 games. Finally, ACSH Gheorgheni is in third place with 62 points in 31 games.

    La Roumanie et l’Initiative centre-européenne

    Cette
    visite a été marquée par des pourparlers au plus haut niveau et par la
    participation au sommet de l’Initiative centre-européenne (ICE). Les
    pourparlers de la cheffe du gouvernement roumain avec son homologue croate Andrej
    Plenkovic ont principalement abordé les relations économiques et commerciales
    entre Bucarest et Zagreb.

    Il y a aussi été question des défis que l’Union
    européenne devra surmonter pendant la présidence roumaine du Conseil européen,
    a précisé la première ministre Viorica Dăncilă: « Je parle des défis liés au Brexit,
    à l’avenir de l’Union européenne, le sommet de Sibiu, du 9 mai 2019 y jouera un
    rôle important. Nous avons abordé ensemble les points communs, l’approche
    commune que nous devons avoir sur les politiques traditionnelles au niveau
    européen – la politique agricole commune et celle de cohésion. Nous avons
    aussi discuté des défis liés à la
    migration, au terrorisme, à la politique de défense et, bien entendu, à
    l’espace Schengen, un sujet qui intéresse nos deux pays. »    , a-t-elle dit.



    A
    Zagreb, la première ministre roumaine Viorica Dăncilă a également participé au
    sommet de l’Initiative centre-européenne, réunion qui a clôturé la présidence
    croate de cet organisme de coopération régionale. La coopération régionale en a
    été le thème principal, l’accent étant mis sur le soutien des valeurs et des
    pratiques démocratiques, des relations de bon voisinage et de la stabilité dans
    la région. Les préparatifs en vue de la première présidence roumaine du Conseil
    de l’Union européenne sont entrés dans leur dernière ligne droite. La continuation
    de l’élargissement de l’Union aux Etats des Balkans occidentaux constituera une
    priorité de ce mandat, a déclaré Mme Dăncilă. Elle a ajouté que la Roumanie maintenait
    son engagement d’offrir un soutien politique et une assistance technique pour
    faire avancer les réformes dans les Etats de la région, dans le processus de
    leur rapprochement des structures euro-atlantiques.

    La première ministre
    roumaine a souligné l’intérêt de Bucarest pour une utilisation optimale des
    formats de collaboration et pour la mise en valeur de leur contribution à la
    stabilité de la région, pour l’encouragement des relations de bon voisinage, de
    l’interconnexion et de la coopération économique. L’Initiative
    centre-européenne peut contribuer à la réalisation de ces objectifs, a-t-elle
    ajouté, par le transfert de savoir-faire dans des domaines clé, tels la lutte
    anti-corruption, la bonne gouvernance, la réduction des décalages en matière de développement, de compétitivité
    et d’innovation. La chef du gouvernement de Bucarest a aussi exprimé son
    soutien au développement de la coopération régionale dans le format de l’ICE,
    ainsi qu’à la consolidation de l’efficacité de l’Initiative à travers de projets
    à impact économique et social dans la région. Mme Viorica Dăncilă a souhaité du
    succès à l’Italie, qui remplace la Croatie à la présidence de l’ICE. (Trad.:Ileana
