Nine foreign citizens suspected of terrorist actions were declared personae non gratae this year and removed from the national territory by decisions of the Bucharest Court of Appeal, at the proposition of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), other 246 persons being stopped at the border for the same reasons, the SRI spokesman Ovidiu Marincea said.
