    NATO SUMMIT
    – The president of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, will attend the NATO Summit in
    Vilnius on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. The summit will consist of three
    high-level NATO meetings in the NATO-Ukraine, NATO-EU and NATO-Indo-Pacific
    formats. The president will highlight the importance of implementing the
    decisions of the NATO summit in Madrid regarding the consolidation of NATO’s
    deterrence and defense posture on the eastern flank, the presidency reports.
    Klaus Iohannis will also reiterate robust support for Ukraine, as well as
    support for Ukraine’s bid to join NATO and for more vulnerable partners, in
    particular the Republic of Moldova. President Iohannis will also seek to
    highlight the importance of the Black Sea region for Euro-Atlantic security in
    NATO resolutions and documents. On the sidelines of the summit in Lithuania,
    NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expects most allies to express their
    commitment to increase their defense spending to over 2% of national GDPs
    starting 2024. Secretary Stoltenberg said that 11 NATO members, including
    Romania, have already met this target.




    NURSING
    HOMES SCANDAL – Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has called a government
    meeting on Sunday with several members of his cabinet and heads of relevant
    institutions after a scandal broke out regarding abusive treatments applied to
    elderly and people with disabilities in three nursing homes in Ilfov County
    near Bucharest. Prime Minister Ciolacu called on Labor Minister Marius Budăi to sack the directors of the
    National Social Inspection Authority, its Ilfov branch and the National
    Authority for the Protection of People with Disabilities. In turn, Labor
    Minister Marius Budăi said
    prosecutors must establish how the Ilfov Agency for Social Inspection and
    Payments continued to earmark funds to these homes without verifying the
    conditions beforehand. Minister Budăi
    said the Ministry is considering amending the social welfare law, so that each
    nursing home should be monitored by a social auditor. Meanwhile, the police
    have detained, placed on house or pre-trial arrest a number of individuals in
    connection to this case.




    VISIT -
    Ukraine deserves to join NATO, Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said
    in Istanbul upon meeting his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Kyiv
    wants to join NATO, but the United States have warned Ukraine would not be
    joining NATO at the end of the NATO summit in Vilnius next week. On the other hand,
    Russia and Ukraine should resume peace talks, the Turkish president said,
    also calling for an extension of the agreement on Ukrainian grain exports,
    concluded in July 2022 under the aegis of the UN and Turkey. Previously, Russia
    said it sees no reason to extend the agreement, set to expire on July 17.




    NEVERSEA
    – The fifth edition of the Neversea electronic music festival continues this
    weekend in Constanța. The
    biggest beach festival in Europe, Neversea expects a daily number of 70,000
    visitors from Romania and abroad to take part in the event. This year’s special
    guests include American rapper Lil Uzi Vert, the Romanian artist Inna who

    ARRESTS Romania’s Prime Minister
    Marcel Ciolacu has called on the country’s Labour Minister, Marius Budai, to dismiss
    the boards of the National Agency for Social Inspection and its branch in
    Ilfov, southern Romania, following the scandal over the inhuman conditions in several
    old people’s homes in the region. In the meantime, Marius Budai has ordered
    checks and measures from all the directions involved in the case and upon the
    Prime Minister’s request, commissions will be set up in every county. Four
    people have been apprehended so far in the aforementioned file, whereas 11 others
    have been placed under house arrest and six under judicial control. Following
    this case, with a prejudice that exceeds one million euros, inspections have
    been ordered at similar institutions all over the country. Among other things,
    prosecutors are investigating the way in which the aforementioned centers have
    got their operating permits.






    SUMMIT Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis will be participating in
    the NATO summit in Vilnius on Tuesday and Wednesday, the presidential
    administration in Bucharest has announced. The summit is to include three
    high-level meetings of the North-Atlantic Council, in formats, which include
    Ukraine, the European Union as well as NATO’s Indo-Pacific partners. At the
    summit, the Romanian president is expected to underline the fundamental
    importance of continuing the implementation of the Madrid decisions on
    strengthening the allied defence and deterrence posture on the Eastern Flank.
    Iohannis will also reiterate the robust support for Ukraine, including its NATO’s
    accession, as well as for the most vulnerable partners, especially for the
    Republic of Moldova. According to the same sources, the head of the Romanian state
    will be also referring to the need for having the importance of the Black Sea
    region in the Euro-Atlantic security reflected in the allied documents and
    decisions.






    DEFENCE The Country’s Supreme Defence Council on
    Thursay approved the creation in Romania of a regional centre to train pilots
    flying military F16 aircraft. The centre will initially train Romanian pilots
    and later also pilots from allied and partner states, including Ukraine. The
    Council also approved Romania’s objectives for the upcoming NATO summit in
    Vilnius next week. President Klaus Iohannis will again bring to the fore
    aspects related to the security of the Black Sea region. According to a
    statement from the president’s office, Romania is ready to contribute to the
    allied effort both by hosting NATO multinational structures and by boosting its
    defence spending to 2.5% of GDP from this year. The Council also approved the
    army and interior ministry personnel to take part next year in foreign missions
    and operations, with Romania’s boosting its participation in the EUFOR ALTHEA missions in the Bosnia and Herzegovina
    theatre of operations.

    Sport Club RRI – Tenis

    În aceste zile se desfăşoară turneul de tenis de la Wimbledon. Întrecerea este considerată cea mai selectă din întregul calendar profesionist, mai ales datorită istoriei sale. Este, practic, cel mai vechi turneu din lume şi se joacă pe iarbă. Anul 1877 a fost cel care a marcat prima ediţie a competiţiei, rezervată exclusiv domnilor, iar câştigătorul s-a numit Spencer Gore. Finala a fost urmărită de aproximativ 200 de spectatori, care au plătit, fiecare, câte un şiling.



    De-a lungul celor peste 130 de ani trecuţi de la prima ediţie, turneul s-a transformat radical, însă rămân în vigoare multe elemente ale regulamentului original. Astăzi, totalul premiilor se ridică la milioane de euro, dar încă se aplică un cod vestimentar strict, care impune jucătorilor să se îmbrace, cităm, “aproape în întregime în alb”.



    Dintre jucătorii de tenis din România, doar Simona Halep şi-a înscris numele pe lista câştigătorilor de la Wimbledon. Ea s-a impus pe iarba londoneză în 2019, după finala câștigată cu 6-2, 6-2 în fața sportivei care a fost, poate, cea mai mare jucătoare a debutului de mileniu, Serena Williams. Halep a câştigat clar, în două seturi: 6-2, 6-2. Anterior, ea trecuse de Alieksandra Sasnovich, Mihaela Buzărnescu, Victoria Azarenka, Cori Gauff, Shuai Zhang și Elina Svitolina.



    În ediţia din acel an, Simona a pierdut un singur set, şi acela în confruntarea cu Buzărnescu. La masculin, performanţele româneşti de la Wimbledon s-au înregistrat cu cinci decenii în urmă. Ilie Năstase a ajuns de două ori în finală: în 1972, când a cedat la mare luptă în faţa lui Stan Smith, în cinci seturi, şi în 1976, când a pierdut la Björn Borg.



    Anul acesta, România este reprezentată pe tabloul principal de la Wimbledon doar în turneul feminin. Prima jucătoare care a intrat în competiţie a realizat şi prima surpriză plăcută. Ana Bogdan, numărul 57 WTA, a trecut în primul tur de rusoaica Liudmila Samsonova, numărul 15 WTA şi cap de serie numărul 15, cu 7-6, 7-6.

Ea s-a impus pe iarba londoneză în 2019, după finala câștigată cu 6-2, 6-2 în fața sportivei care a fost, poate, cea mai mare jucătoare a debutului de mileniu, Serena Williams. Halep a câştigat clar, în două seturi: 6-2, 6-2. Anterior, ea trecuse de Alieksandra Sasnovich, Mihaela Buzărnescu, Victoria Azarenka, Cori Gauff, Shuai Zhang și Elina Svitolina.



    În ediţia din acel an, Simona a pierdut un singur set, şi acela în confruntarea cu Buzărnescu. La masculin, performanţele româneşti de la Wimbledon s-au înregistrat cu cinci decenii în urmă. Ilie Năstase a ajuns de două ori în finală: în 1972, când a cedat la mare luptă în faţa lui Stan Smith, în cinci seturi, şi în 1976, când a pierdut la Björn Borg.



    Anul acesta, România este reprezentată pe tabloul principal de la Wimbledon doar în turneul feminin. Prima jucătoare care a intrat în competiţie a realizat şi prima surpriză plăcută. Ana Bogdan, numărul 57 WTA, a trecut în primul tur de rusoaica Liudmila Samsonova, numărul 15 WTA şi cap de serie numărul 15, cu 7-6, 7-6.

    EDUCATION – Romania’s
    president Klaus Iohannis is today expected to ratify the education laws. A
    former high school teacher, Klaus Iohannis spearheaded the Educated Romania
    project in 2016, launched in the wake of a series of public consultations. Its
    objectives include increasing funds for education, reducing school dropout and
    functional illiteracy. The education laws were adopted by the Senate on May 22.
    The opposition parties USR and the Right Force appealed the laws at the
    Constitutional Court, without success. The opposition claims the laws infringe
    on access to education and on the principle of equality of rights. The
    education laws were also criticized by the National Pupils Council and
    students’ organizations, which condemned various provisions they deemed to be
    discriminatory.




    VISIT -
    Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu is as of today paying a two-day visit to
    Germany, where he will meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the
    vice-president of the German Parliament, Katrin Gorind-Eckardt. Prime Minister
    Ciolacu will also attend meetings with representatives of the business and
    defense industry sectors. Marcel Ciolacu will also meet members of the Romanian
    community in Germany and pay floral tributes to the Holocaust Memorial in
    Berlin. Germany is Romania’s number one trade partner, which provides a robust
    basis for boosting bilateral ties, offering genuine development perspectives
    that we want to carry through as soon as possible, the Romanian official said.




    DACIA – Dacia
    has announced it will take part in the 2025 edition of the Dakar Rally as one
    of the official manufacturers. Dacia representatives announced its prototype

    cars into the series will be several-time Dakar champion Sébastien Loeb of
    France.




    MEDICAL LEAVE – The Government will
    launch an official inquiry into medical leaves. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu
    has called on the National Health Insurance Authority to submit an updated
    report, after last year over 8 million requests for medical leave were
    submitted, considering Romania’s active population totals some 6 million
    people. Total medical leave costs stood at some 1.2 bln EUR. Parliament has
    previously voted out an initiative designed to empower the Health Insurance
    Authority to verify people on medical leave without violating their privacy.




    WAR IN UKRAINE – The battles
    against the Russian invasion army are ‘difficult’, Ukraine’s president

    difficult, but we are making headway. We’re taking it one step at a time,
    Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. Previously, deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar
    said that Ukraine has liberated 28.4 square kilometers in the south and 9
    square kilometers in the east over the past week, taking the total area
    liberated by the Ukrainian army since the launch of the counteroffensive to 158
    square kilometers. The enemy is fighting back, the current battle is very
