"Romania is following the decisions of the NATO summit in Wales a country that will be defended in any war scenario. NATO in Brussels does not have a budget that distributes countries, but states will have to contribute to the protection of the Navy , air, land, will take money for Romanian security.

I pointed chain frozen conflicts in the Black Sea. All conflicts are controlled by the Russian Federation and can be activated at a time or all at once heated. After the annexation of Crimea, Russian fleet in Sevastopol is only 160 nautical miles from the Romanian border. There are cruiser Moscow, frigates, destroyers, which in 6 hours may be on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea. Events in Ukraine that have been our formidable argument demonstrating that Russia may act irrationally. And then why exclude the possibility that on your country (Romania) Might cause this. 99.9% aggression on Romania from Russia can not produce. But it remains 0.01%.

This concept (New Russia) is a new threat to the national security of Romania. Putin's plan is to reach the Danube. Yesterday, one of the leading terrorists in Eastern Ukraine announced that their goal is to reach the Romanian border, Chilia arm.

I saw all the press noted one thing that seemed extraordinary: a headquarters in Romania. He did not, however guarantee our security. He will lead applications, exercises, and only in case of war will be military intervention, coordinated with central headquarters will be in Italy. No command is key.

I understand what the situation is Poroşenko. It's where he thought he could liquidate the Ukrainian army separatists situation. Failed. Probably tried to give an explanation. I argue no appeal. He made a foray on the eastern flank where NATO puts 28 states to protect this area. This scenario is not available. Is that 0.01%

Bluetongue disease was confirmed in dozens of locations in Buzau county, Vaslui County and Prahova, affecting mainly sheeps but also cattle and goats. EU experts explain methods of transmission, the characteristics and dangers of this disease affecting livestock exports already showing a map of restricted areas in Europe.

Bluetongue is characterized by inflammation of the mucous membranes, congestion, swelling and bleeding, but most of the affected animals heal illness. Sheeps are generally the most affected, while cattle and goats usually has no severe clinical signs of disease even if they carry the virus for a certain period.

The virus is transmitted through a small number of species, biting flies of the genus culicoides. Culicoides can be considered an important vector for the transmission of bluetongue when they have the ability to become infected and transmit the virus to replicate. In southern Europe culicoides imicola is the main vector for transmission of the virus. However, several native species of northern culicoides are capable of transmitting, as demonstrated by outbreaks of bluetongue in areas outside the geographical range of culicoides imicola.
