Prince Edward of Great Britain and princess Sofia will pay an official visit to Romania between June 24th and 26th – the Embassy of Great Britain to Bucharest announced on Wednesday. The two royal highnesses will take part in the events marking 75 years since the setting up of the British Council in Romania. Prince Edward, a count of Wessex and brother of Prince Charles of Wales, is the 3rd son of Queen Elisabeth II. This is Prince Edward’s first visit to Romania.

Romania’s National Bank downgraded its inflation forecast for the end of this year from 3.5% to 3.2%, according to the most recent statement made by Governor Mugur Isarescu. He said that the forecast has been downgraded from the one in February even though there are no changes in the calendar for indexing administrated prices. The forecast for the end of 2014 was adjusted upwards by 0.1%, reaching 3.3%.
