In a picturesque village in central Romania, 83-year-old Zoica Roth bemoans the lack of opportunities for young people and says she's not convinced that an upcoming presidential election can help stem the desertion of the countryside.
“I have two girls and two boys. I only see them once in the summer and once at Christmas because they’re all abroad,” she told The Associated Press in the courtyard of her farmstead in Saschiz, in Mures county. “The only solution is to leave ... I miss them.”
