Assembly, Mr Sandor Egeresi, Sorin Frunzeverde pointed out that
Romania supports fully the efforts of AP Voivodina to become
integrated in the family of European countries. According to

multireligious society which promotes the spirit of tolerance.

the restoration of autonomy to the province, reinforcement of
international and inter-regional cooperation which ought to
lead our country directly to European integrations. Mr Egeresi

with Caras-Severin County and took the opportunity to invite
the guests to take part in the forthcoming Danube Conference.
