a Russian drone crashed into a residential apartment building<\/a> in the Romanian city of Gala\u021bi, triggering an explosion and a fire that injured two people and forced the evacuation of around 70 residents. The authorities described the incident as a serious violation of the country’s airspace.<\/p>\nAccording to the announcement published by Dan on Facebook, the two leaders spoke about the main topics on the agenda of the European Council meeting scheduled for June 18-19.<\/p>\n
During the conversation, the Romanian leader argued that the “serious incident caused by the Russian drone in Gala\u021bi” should be included in the summit conclusions, alongside a stronger message condemning Russia for what he described as repeated and unacceptable violations of the airspace of European Union member states.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese tactics are intolerable, and it is imperative that they be firmly condemned,\u201d Nicu\u0219or Dan said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRomania will continue to pursue the operationalization of projects under the Eastern Flank Watch initiative, in complementarity with NATO initiatives, in order to ensure European defense and security,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n
Dan and Costa also discussed the European Union’s future multiannual financial framework. The Romanian president said he stressed the importance of balanced funding allocations that address Romania’s needs and highlighted the country’s objective of building on commitments agreed by the “Friends of Cohesion” group of member states in a joint declaration adopted on May 26.<\/p>\n
