Prime Minister Florin Citu said on Tuesday that some political leaders put words into his mouth about Rosia Montana, adding that the ruling coalition's decisions on this matter will be presented publicly.
Deputy Prime Minister Dan Barna, co-chair of the Save Romania Union - Freedom, Unity and Solidairty Party (USR PLUS) alliance, minor at rule, said on Monday that the party still supports Rosia Montana being included on the UNESCO heritage list and that it will maintain this point of view inside the coalition, even if there will be an alternative proposal.
Citu later said, on the same day, that no decision has been taken yet on Rosia Montana, and that talks will resume at the next meeting of the ruling coalition.
Mihai Gotiu, a member on the USR PLUS National Bureau, said on Tuesday that withdrawing Rosia Montana from UNESCO would be a violation of PNL's promises, adding that his party would use all levers in the coalition for the listing to be successfully completed in July.
