PM Dancila: Romania intends to have ambitious, yet realistic presidency of EU Council

Prime minister Viorica Dancila said on Wednesday that Romania intends to have an "ambitious, but also realistic" presidency of the Council of the European Union.

"Romania intends to have an ambitious, but also realistic presidency. I say ambitious because we want to give a positive answer to the ongoing challenges at a European level, that we aim to solve as many cases as we can, that are on the Presidency's desk, but, at the same time, a realistic one as well, because this, as well as many of the challenges are not just up to Romania, they rely on a political agreement, a co-decision between the European institutions, and I am referring to the European Parliament, the European Commission, and, of course, the European Council," Prime minister Viorica Dancila said during a joint statement with the president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani.
