congress

Romanian President Traian Basescu said Saturday, at the Congress of Romanian Students’ Union, that Romania’s economy is not in recession, despite the 6.4% contraction of the gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2009, adding the economy actually saw an upward trend in April.

The Standing Delegation within the Romanian National Liberal Party decided Wednesday, with a wide majority of votes, to call an extraordinary party congress on March 20-21, said party president Calin Tarceanu.
