Earlier this week, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) handed down a precedent-setting decision for same-sex couples: The EU’s highest court declared that a gay US-Romanian couple had the same residency rights within the EU as any other married couple.

On December 1 2018, Romania not only celebrates its National Day but also marks 100 years since the 1918 Great Union – the major historical event that changed the country’s course in history.

This event is part of the Centennial series.
