Farmers in Romania are struggling to keep their cattle, following an ongoing drought making it hard for them to provide animals with feed. In the southern county of Olt, farmer Traian Gîrtan has sold some of his 30-strong livestock. Gîrtan told Euronews that feeding his cattle costs €1000 a month, up from previous years. "The feed is almost double what it was last year. And how is the price of livestock now? The price of livestock is 30 to 40 percent lower than a year ago” said Gîrtan. In order to keep his farm alive over winter, Gîrtan predicts he will sell half of his cattle. Representatives...

Farmers have requested substantial financial support from the Romanian Minister of Agriculture so that they can continue to tend the land. Some say this can even come in the fo...

Romania is suffering from the effects of one of the worst heat waves in the country’s history. In July, temperatures exceeded 40 degrees Celsius and that extreme heat is still causing issues for many - not least farmers, especially those who grow sunflowers and corn. July’s heat wave destroyed the majority of many of these farmers’ crops - and now they say they are expecting losses of around 90%. "If in a good year, let's say, we made somewhere around 2500-3000 kg per hectare this year we hope to reach 1000 kilograms, although from what we can see here, we will certainly not reach that,” Dumit...

On a recent trip to Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, I visited the city’s renowned flea markets in the hope of finding some marginally less tacky souvenirs than the ones in tourist shops. Dry Bridge Market takes over Saarbruecken Bridge and the surrounding streets every morning with sellers displaying wares on permanent shelving, on rickety camping tables or just on cloths spread on the ground. You can find floral-pattered crockery, daggers, old cameras, medals and woven rugs. And you can also find an astonishing array of Stalin-emblazoned merchandise. There are magnets, colourful socks, badge...

Residents of the central Romanian village of Șimon have launched a project to restore old houses in a bid to attract tourism to the area. As more people seek the experience of living in a traditional home, century-old houses are being refurbished or even relocated to more quiet, scenic areas. Luminita Cherebetu, who owns one of the houses, said that the traditional houses offer tourists a degree of "intimacy", which the project aims to capitalise on. "Once the tourists enter the gate, they can feel all the privacy they need, romantic and comfortable intimacy," she said. "If they want to get up...
