NATO Summit in Eastern Europe

One of he most important events happening in Romania, a newcomer in the European Union, takes place in Bucharest between 2-4 April 2008. This meeting brings together the presidents and prime ministers of the NATO countries. Before the official meeting between the U.S. president Bush and the russian president Putin, on April 6th 2008, they agreed to meet in Bucharest although Russia is not a NATO member. The most two powerful presidents will have discussions about the european anti-rocket shield.

The problems that could occur during the summit have been discussed with the security members of all the nations that will take part at the meeting and so they found methods of securing the area surrounding the meeting place. But all this has a bad effect on the people of Bucharest because of the traffic jams on the main street entering Bucharest. There is a security corridor build on the 6 lane street that left only 1 lane for each way for the civilian traffic. This corridor is used to bring the diplomats from the international airport in Bucharest. Another security method was sealing all sewer entrances. More than that, all restaurants around the meeting place are not allowed to serve alcohol so that nobody shall disturb the discussions.

In conclusion, with all the security measures taken the romanians will be glad when everything will be over, no matter what will be discussed at the NATO summit.
