Romania's first post-communist president/ Religious funeral held for Ion

The official funeral ceremony for Romania's first elected president after communism, Ion Iliescu, took place this Thursday.

He died on Tuesday at the age of 95 after a diagnosis of lung cancer following years of declining health, after retiring from public life in 2017.

A religious ceremony was held at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace before Iliescu's coffin was transferred to a cemetery for military honors.

Iliescu dominated over a decade of Romania's post-communist evolution, with his shrewd skill at navigating the endless crises that repeatedly gripped the country, often with tragic results. /CNA
