Romania is situated in the South-Eastern part of Central Europe at the contact with Eastern Europe and the Balkan peninsula. It stretches between a latitude of 43 deg 37"07'N & 48 deg 15"06'N, and between longitude 20 deg 15"44' & 29 deg 41"24'E. It lies at the intersection of the 45N parallel and the 25E meridian.
When in Romania, do as the Romanians do . . . and don't drink coffee in a coffee house ! Choose an aperitif instead. With your Dubonnet or Vermouth, you will also receive a portion of cheese, accompanied by olives, onions, tomatoes, radishes ‑ or perhaps meatballs, or various kinds of cold meats. Rinse it down with a good wine or tzuica.
Politics of Romania take place in a framework of a semi-presidential parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the Prime Minister of Romania is the head of government and the President of Romania exercises the functions of head of state.
