All things are fine and dandy on Thursday, with Romania noting an impressive economic growth and all things setting on the right track, as European Commission officials say. Or maybe not, but that may be a completely different story. One about how the former prime minister may never go to Court in his corruption-related files or about judges who help all sorts of criminals. Newspapers don't make it clear, but maybe the success Ferrari has in Romania is the best news yet.

Romania ranks second in Europe in economic growth, Cotidianul notes in its opening article, with 8.2% in the first quarter of the year, surpassed only by Slovakia and well above the European average of 2.3%, figures at Eurostat, the European Statistics Institute, reveal.

Maybe this is what made Catherine Day, European Commission Secretary General, to publicly state that things in Romania are clearly on the right track, as Jurnalul National reads.

Back to our usual problems: former Prime Minister Adrian Nastase and former Transport Minister Miron Mitrea will not be heard in Court before September 17, Evenimentul Zilei informs.

In the Bucharest City Hall, after one manager committed suicide and another was laid off while on a medical leave, a third one - Infrastructure manager Gheorghe Udriste - resigned on Wednesday, Gandul notes. The head architect of Bucharest is also expected to resign. Meanwhile, Social Democrats announced they will support Oprescu in his decisions. Oprescu resigned from their party in order to run as independent, after his Social Democrat fellows decided to support another candidate. After winning, he formed a stable majority in the city council employing Democrat-Liberal and New Generation council members.

Reverberations of the last public statements made by president Traian Basescu are still found in the media, after the head of state accused judges and prosecutors of helping the Romanian organized crime, along with the Police, as Cotidianul reminds. But still, no effects were noted yet.
