Romania - Embargo Against Serbia Is Lifting

T/I: 10:01:00 The first evidence that the embargo against Serbia is ending can be seen on the River Danube in Romania, which boasts the longest border with Serbia. During the height of the embargo, European monitors were based in the Romanian border town of Calafat to ensure the sanctions were enforced. Following the peace deal signed in Dayton, Ohio, the waterways have been opened and Ukrainian barges, loaded with coal, are passing by unchecked. UN monitors and Romanian troops are also relaxing on the road that was known as the smuggling motorway during the embargo, when Romanians used it to bring petrol into Serbia. Coaches and trucks are already lining up along the border to be among the first to cross into a sanction-free Serbia.
