There is still hopeby Claudia Sonea

Shocking as it was for me to see a foreigner bragging about Roumania, still things are not to be relieved of. Due to the struggle for power that still exist between the President and the Prime Minister, foreign investors continue to have certain reserve towards Romanian market, but Jean Claude Richard, Swiss Ambassador, admits that Roumania is a country with great possibility and that they are content with the dedication Romanians show. That doesn't surprise me at all, if you pay fairly they would work night and day regardless the work conditions. USA after a trial period of summer workers from Roumania Universities, had established a regular program through which students can go and work there every summer. When it comes to foreign investors from Swiss there are known mostly Nestle, Holcim and Energy Holding. They had success in this small country and saw that we are aware of the brand and the quality a product has. Also other investors from Germany, Spain and Greece have tried the market and never left, so I guess we are after all sitting on a gold mine and we don't even know it. The thing that must change is Romanian mentality and it will take some generations for this to happen, not one, but more. Communism has deep roots in people's mind and it still make people it was better then then now. So in order to fully exploit our potential, we should gave up to attitudes like that and adopt a democratic view. Until then here is some romanian music.
