Romania wants back gold sent to Russia for safekeeping in 1916

From Baltic Insight

Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu said on Sunday on TV that Romania wants to resume negotiations on the treasure it sent to Moscow for safekeeping during World War I in 1916 and which was never returned.

Under pressure from the Central Powers, which had occupied most of Romania, on December 2, 1916, the National Bank decided to relocate Romania’s treasury to Moscow, to ensure its preservation.
