had been rearranged to accommodate them for the duration
of the repairs, expected to last several months.

comfortable than their old, crumbling courthouse.

communism, efforts to modernize courts across the country
have been impeded by money shortages.

A local court in the eastern
Romanian town of Dorohoi has found temporary shelter in
the main pub, state news agency Rompres said Saturday.
