He was formally the chief of staff of the Romanian army that accompanied their Nazi allies in the invasion of Russia in 1941. Former Romanian King to Return to Savarsin Castle May 24, 2001 -- (BBC Monitoring) Text of report in English by Romanian news agency Rompres web site. Bucharest, 23 May: After nearly 54 years, former Romanian King Michael I returns on Friday [15 May] to Savarsin (near the western city of Arad) for a six-day stay at the castle which the Romanian government has recently decided to return to the king's ownership. The Romanian government decided to drop an appeal against a court ruling under which Savarsin castle was being returned to King Michael. After the former monarch abdicated in December 1947, Savarsin was the last stop of the royal train on the way to exile. The locals are anxiously awaiting the former sovereign and some of them - among whom the king's coachman Iosif Anitescu, 91 - have met him personally. On Sunday, the royal family will attend the consecration of the Savarsin Orthodox church, recently renovated. Early Monday they will visit the nearby Bulci country town and the Mocioni castle which now houses a hospital; later in the day they will visit the Savarsin museum and meet the Savarsin locals. On Tuesday, former King Michael will visit the "airfield" of Varadia, where he used to land his private plane. He will then meet members of the Savarsin Local Council. Michael I is also scheduled to give audiences for two hours on Wednesday. The royal family will be leaving Savarsin on Thursday.
