Prim Ministrul britanic David Cameron a prezentat ieri viziunea Guvernului britanic asupra reformei procesului de migrație.

One of my followers on Twitter (@HMAMartinHarris) urged me last week to: “please untangle the politicians heads. UK and Romania should be partners.” I want to offer reassurance on two counts.

I was in Poiana Brasov last week to support Team GB at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival.
