A bust of former US President Ronald Reagan was ceremoniously unveiled in Ploiesti, a city 70 kilometers north of Romania's capital.
All the high and lofty local officials were keen on attending the great event that, to their bewilderment, took the locals by surprise.
Many people are wondering what does Ploiesti have to do with the distinguished American leader of men. Others don't even know who the man sculpted in bronze is. "He is a legal advisor!", some local inhabitans say with a muted voice.
