Romania To Send Aid To Georgia

The country will thus be joining EU and NATO efforts to bring stability in the war-affected region, the presidency said.

“Romania voices its concerns with the security in the region and restates the need to respect Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the statement noted.

The conflict between Russia and its small, former Soviet neighbor started last Thursday when Georgia suddenly sent forces to retake South Ossetia, a pro-Russian province that threw off Georgian rule in the 1990s.
