Romania's Foreign Minister Teodor Melescanu said on Wednesday that responsibility for the memorandum approved by the country's government on the relocation of the Romanian Embassy was his as the foreign minister at the initiative of the Foreign Ministry (MAE) in order to get a mandate from the government for carrying out an analysis of the issue, which will be brought to the attention of the relevant political decision-makers.
He then presented what he called the "fundamental ideas" contained in the memorandum.
He said that the memorandum approved by the Government on the Jerusalem matter is not a secret document, but "a document that says it does not include public information."
Asked about who has taken up the memorandum, Melescanu said, "I have taken responsibility for everything in it related to the Foreign Ministry, although I did not sign it, because I was on a visit to Libya at the time; I have taken it up as an initiative of the Foreign Ministry to try to understand and manage this process."
