Emil Boc, the mayor of Cluj-Napoca, declared on Wednesday that the use of the flag and anthem of Russia is prohibited in the city, even during sporting competitions. This decision comes in the context of organizing the World Cup of Rhythmic Gymnastics, which will take place from June 26 to 28 and will involve Russian athletes. Boc emphasized the importance of respecting the values and principles that underlie the organization of international events, stating that the city will not tolerate symbols associated with Russia. This measure reflects the firm stance of local authorities regarding the current geopolitical situation and the desire to maintain a climate of respect and solidarity in the community.
