President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday sent condolences to the members of the Royal House upon the death of King Mihai, pointing out that the latter was one of the greatest figures of Romania and "wrote the country's history in capital letters."
"It is a great loss for Romania, for Romanians. Condolences to all members of the Royal House. Romania will organise all ceremonies as required and we'll definitely have days of national mourning," Iohannis said after the meeting with ambassador of the EU member states.
King Mihai placed his entire life in the service of Romania through everything he did, and served it with dignity and responsibility until his last moment on Earth, President Klaus Iohannis said on Tuesday.
"Today, our nation is in mourning. A great statesman and a great Romanian left us. I have learned with deep pain and sadness the news about the death of His Majesty King Mihai I. The almost secular journey of the last sovereign of Romania ends here. Through all his deeds, King Mihai put his whole life in the service of Romania and served it with dignity and responsibility until his last moment on Earth. I am urging all of us to gather our strength and wisdom to properly honour Mihai I's merits. May God rest his soul!," Iohannis wrote in a Facebook post.
King Mihai I, a former royal of Romania, died Tuesday at the age of 96, at his residence in Switzerland, according to the Romanian Royal House.
