Chair of the Chamber of Deputies Foreign Policy Committee, Rozalia Biro of the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR) said today that the topics discussed during her recent talk with Austrian ambassador Isabel Rauscher included the situation of Romanian caregivers in Austria, benefits for non-resident children, Romanian exports and dual education experience exchanges, agerpres.ro confirms.
