Romanian police officers and customs workers said Wednesday they will resume protests on August 17, following a fruitless meeting on Tuesday with interior minister Dan Nica.

Romanian interior minister Dan Nica promised unionists that there is enough money to cover wages until the end of the year, but the problem of rents remains clearly without a solution, Vasile Lincu, head of the police officers union “Pro Lex”, said on Tuesday.

A Romanian police officer in Oancea, Galati county, eastern Romania, was taken into custody for a month on manslaughter charges Monday, after the 28 year-old man he shot Sunday died at the hospital.
