The referendum on the dismissal of Romanian President Traian Basescu is to take place in May 19. The Romanian Parliament officials decided it yesterday and MPs are to vote for or against it today. (...)
Ion Munteanu, a secretary of the Chamber of Deputies, announced the electoral campaign would open once the Parliament decision was published in The Official Monitor and it would end 48 hours before the referendum. He explained that, according to the law, Saturday and Sunday were no days for campaigning. (R.P.)
