The exhibition "Gheorghe Lazar National College - 160 years of Romanian education", organized on the occasion of the 160th anniversary of the establishment of the educational institution, was opened on Friday at the National Museum of Romania's History (MNIR).

Interior Minister Nicolae Moga stepped down on Tuesday amid a storm of criticism of the slow response to the distress calls made to the police emergency number by Alexandra Macesanu, the 15-year-old who was raped and killed last week in Romania.

Two of Crotia's greatest footballers - Zvonimir Boban and Davor Suker confirmed their participation in the show celebrating next year's 50th anniversary of Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov.

Boban and Suker were two of the leaders of the legendary Croatian team of the 1990s, which finished third at the 1998 World Cup.

Two of the greatest football players in Romanian history - Gheorghe Hagi and Gheorghe Popescu confirmed their participation at the 50th birthday show organised by Bulgarian legend Hristo Stoichkov next year.

Stoichkov played with both Hagi and Popescu during his spell at FC Barcelona.

Nicknamed the 'King of Romanian soccer' and the 'Maradona of the Carpathians', retired football ace Gheorghe Hagi was born on February 5, 1965, in the commune of Sacele, located 35 km from the eastern city of Constanta.
