Romanian president signals follow-up consultations to address political crisis

Answering several questions during a brief press conference in Cyprus, where he was attending an informal European Council, Romanian president Nicusor Dan assured “something with my participation” will happen next week in relation to the ongoing political crisis in the country.

On an optimistic note, he said that “the tone of the discussions has calmed down a bit,” expressed expectations for the interim cabinet to perform well, and assured that the pro-Western parties that formed the ruling coalition in the past remain committed to the country’s European orientation.
