Romania’s President Traian Basescu will participate on Thursday and Friday in Brussels in the meeting of the heads of state and government of the EU states. High on the agenda of the meeting are the economic and financial situation in the member states, the issue of climate change and sustainable development. The Romanian president said in Bucharest that Romania will not face uncontrolled economic and social collapse and that the current government is able to face the economic crisis. According to Basescu the Romanian economy cannot be re-launched by itself as it is dependent on the situation on the other markets to which it exports. More on this issue after the news.
