Episode Synopsis

Romanians are still navigating the difficult path of building democratic institutions and a culture of transparency. At the same time, widespread perceptions of corruption and cronyism have caused many Romanians to see little change from communist leadership. Antonia Colibasanu, a lecturer on International Relations at the Romanian National University, backgrounds Romania’s position and future influence in Europe and analyses the difficulties the country is faced with. She also summarises the country’s relationship between Russia, Ukraine, Poland and the rest of Europe. And finally, we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
