Romania's Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu told Parliament on Wednesday that "there are still no signs" that the de-escalation in the Black Sea security situation is happening "in a real way".
The head of Romanian diplomacy testified before the foreign affairs committees of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies on security developments in the Black Sea basin.
"This security crisis is not just about Ukraine, it's not just about the Black Sea, it's not just about European security, it's about Euro-Atlantic security as a whole, and the Black Sea is an integral part of the Euro-Atlantic area, as the security of the Black Sea is tightly connected to and an integral part of Euro-Atlantic security," Aurescu said.
He added that this "is an important moment, the zenith of diplomatic efforts that are being made on multiple levels, at various levels at this important moment, trying to achieve security de-escalation."
"There are still no signs that this de-escalation is really happening. It is very important that diplomatic efforts continue, as it is equally extremely important that this de-escalation actually takes place on the ground," Aurescu said at the beginning of hearings, Agerpres informs.
