I remember of 2 killed. One in an IED attack on an Italian patrol vehicle and one killed himself.

The number of wounded is at 50 now. This post has been edited by Vici on May 16, 2009 02:03 pm

As with all shameful things in Ro, it was "swept under the carpet", so there is no mention about it on MApN site... if it was, say, a road accident it would have been listed.

That must be the suicide.

If you`re in Warsaw Pact, you need to go in Cehoslovakia Beeing in a alliance has its price, but the price you pay is usually smaller than the price you pay when you aren`t in an alliance, or in one that can`t help you when you`re in trouble (like the case of Romania at the beginning of WW2).
