The largest of the Balkan countries in South East Europe has borders with Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria. The legacy of Nicolae Ceausescu’s brutal regime still hangs over the country, though it is now part of the European Union and a functional democracy. Romania was hit by the global financial downturn and has since implemented strict austerity measures. Major children's rights issues include discrimination against Roma children and abuse and neglect in institutions.
