Romania (Romanian: România ) is a country in Southeastern Europe. It is bordered by Hungary and Serbia in the west and Bulgaria to the south along the Danube River, Ukraine and Moldova in the northeast. Romania has also a stretch of sea coast on the Black Sea and the eastern and southern Carpathian mountains run through its centre. Historic Bucharest (Romanian: Bucureşti Ro-Bucureşti.ogg), a major tourist attraction, is its capital and largest city. Romania has been an active member of NATO since 2004, and is also an acceding country to the European Union.

20 years today since the uprising in Romania. I remember how much of it was played out on TV - a brutal business, but necessary I guess.
