Romania is stepping up immigration controls along its borders to boost its bid to join Europe's Schengen visa-free zone. Stopping the flow of illegal immigrants is seen as key for allowing the two countries to join.

Libyans fight for property rights

Property rights in post-Gaddafi Libya are among the many causes of friction following the end of the former dictator’s 42-year rule.
