"In our opinion, national interests can be reached best in an inclusive and functional European framework. This is why it's vital the maintenance of the key accomplishments of the Union - the four freedoms that assure the foundation of the Internal Market, the cohesion policies, the Euro area, the Schengen Space," President Iohannis said.
The head of state stressed out that the approach of a Europe of "the elites" must be overcome in the benefit of a larger closeness of the decision to the citizen, and the responsibility of the elites, in regards to respecting the European fundamental values and principles, must be acknowledged, pointing out that otherwise the managing, on an European level, of a succession of identity crisis, deriving from the national election calendars, is at risk.
