 Romania
Romania has received a lot of negative press over here in recent years.
A news story featuring the country tends either to be about corruption, poverty, assylum seekers or the continuing plight of its abandonned children.
These are all real and important issues in Romania, but to focus purely on these at the expense of all its virtues is to overlook a rich and artistic culture that has so much to offer.

 Restitution of Church and Communal Properties of the Hungarian Minority in Romania
While neighboring countries long ago addressed and resolved the matter of property restitution, the decade-long delay by Romania constitutes an ongoing, major blow to religious freedom, civil society and the 2 million strong Hungarian minority's ability to maintain community and church life.
The law, which in fact is an amended version of Government Decree 94/2000 never adopted by the Romanian Parliament and not a new piece of legislation, was widely criticized by Hungarian Churches already in its draft form.
After more than a decade of obfuscation, delays and reneging the historic Hungarian churches are understandably wary and have been eager to have this matter settled in short order, but not without their inclusion in the process every step of the way and not at the expense of legally sound, thorough, considered, consensus-based legislation.
