The Beatification of Laura Codruta Kovesi

Word Count: 2681 Over the past few days, I’ve been keeping a sharp eye on Victoria Nuland, the tip of the spear of America’s policy in this region. In her speech at the American Embassy on Monday (still not on the Embassy’s website), Nuland had plenty to say on a number of topics, including the much-lauded DNA (the anti-corruption prosecution unit of the Romanian justice … Continue reading The Beatification of Laura Codruta Kovesi

During the interview, she revealed that the upcoming increase of 7 eurocents (~40 … Continue reading A Tangled Web
