Romanian President Nicușor Dan joined a growing movement of EU leaders on Tuesday by announcing that following Moldova’s decisive pro-European vote in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, “technical negotiations” for EU accession will now begin “even if the negotiations are not officially launched,” given Romania’s special relationship with Moldova.
The Romanian president also appears to support an EU challenge to Hungary’s power to veto Ukraine’s EU accession, calling it a question of “loyal EU cooperation”, but he remains hopeful a “middle ground” can be found.
