The southern Romanian town of Dăbuleni is known across the nation for having the best watermelons the country has to offer — but this year, no one wants to buy them. All of the town's melons ripened at much the same time, meaning there were simply too many on offer. Growers said they ended up throwing many of them away — even though the price is at rock bottom.

One Dăbuleni resident bemoaned having to throw away fou...

The recent dramatic death of a 19-year-old hiker by a brown bear in Romania — one of the European Union's most forested countries — has prompted politicians into action. Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has called for an extraordinary parliamentary session in Bucharest at an unspecified date to establish intervention measures when the animals are dangerous or in the "danger zone". This could include shooting the brown bear when it becomes aggressive. "There's overcrowding in certain areas. They don't have enough food and that's why they come down," he told reporters at a press conference...
