The price hike worries Romanians the most, and this is followed by the fear of war, according to an opinion poll conducted by IRES in March.

According to the survey, 38 pct of the respondents said that they are currently most concerned about rising prices, 34 pct said fear of war, 6 pct - the political situation, and 6 pct - the fear of disease.

The rise in prices was also the main concern of Romanians last year, but in second place was the fear of disease.
