President Klaus Iohannis declared, on Wednesday, in connection with the leadership positions in the European institutions, that it must be negotiated in such a way that "all states feel involved, empowered and served according to the national interest", noting that "it is not possible that any member state be ignored, marginalized or uninvolved" in these negotiations.
"It is a well-known fact that on Monday evening there was an informal meeting of the heads of state and government in the European Council and we discussed the result of the elections, about possible solutions to occupy the leadership positions in the European institutions. It was an informal meeting and that's why I won't give details about these discussions, but allow me some considerations related to what, in my opinion, should be the result. We have the European Union, a very successful project and, in my opinion, a great future project if we manage this correct future, in line with the expectations of European citizens and in such a way that we count in the world equation, in the global equation. So, what should we see? Since they are political negotiations, they are complicated, because the architecture of the Union is complex," stated Klaus Iohannis, after the meeting with the president of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
He added that "the European Union is a union of states, not of parties".
