Romania will strengthen security at the border with Serbia

Romania will strengthen security at the border with Serbia, although it is not affected yet by the waves of refugees that have chosen so far to cross the neighboring countries on their way to Europe, announced the Deputy Prime Minister on national security,  Gabriel Oprea, after the meeting of the National Committee for Emergency Situations. At this time, Romania does not feel an immigrationist pressure, said Gabriel Oprea. He explained that although Europe is facing an unprecedented immigration crisis, which created a considerable pressure in the southern and southeastern European Union, in Romania the illegal border crossing attempts and the number of asylum applications are still in last year’s parameters. However, Gabriel Oprea said that measures of prevention will be taken, monitoring closely the developments in the region, especially from Romania’s border with Serbia.
