Former Soviet Union president Mihail Gorbaciov is visiting Romania today, having reached the country by his private plane which landed on Baneasa airport. Gorbaciov will attend a private meeting of 22 people, among which former Romanian presidents Ion Iliescu, Emil Constantinescu, ministers, ambassadors and representatives of several companies. He will also attend the launch of a new newspaper, called Puterea (“The Power”). The now 80-year old former URSS president came to Romania in 1989, the year when the communist regime fell in Romania.
