Klaus Iohannis

President Klaus Iohannis stated on Thursday that he is concerned with "the secrecy" of the Prime Minister Viorica Dancila's visit to Israel and underscored that the PM doesn't speak for Romania.

President Klaus Iohannis met on Wednesday the management of the National Bank of Romania (BNR), represented by Governor Mugur Isarescu and First Deputy Governor Florin Georgescu, underscoring that the independence of BNR in terms of monetary policy decisions is essential, and both the Government and BNR should avoid competing approaches.

President Klaus Iohannis welcomed on Tuesday at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace visiting former president of the Federal Republic of Germany Christian Wulff.

Labour Minister Lia Olguta Vasilescu suggests President Klaus Iohannis to release the transcripts of the talks at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace on the public pay law at a meeting also attended by Prime Minister Viorica Dancila.

President Klaus Iohannis pointed out, Monday, that it is the Government's job to correct the public sector's discontent, because things are not all right.

President Klaus Iohannis said on Monday he would try to mediate between the Government and the National Bank of Romania (BNR), and that he would call them to the Cotroceni Presidential Palace to that end in the coming days.

"I decided to try a mediation between the Government and BNR, and in the coming days I will invite both sides to Cotroceni," said Iohannis.

Justice Minister Tudorel Toader announced that the notification after President Klaus Iohannis's refusal to dismiss chief anti-graft prosecutor Laura Codruta Kovesi, will get to the Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) on Monday.

Romania's President Klaus Iohannis on Friday condemned the Social Democrat-led government for suggesting that Romania might transfer the country's embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Social Democratic Party leader Liviu Dragnea told a talk show on Thursday that the government had begun the formalities to move the embassy to Jerusalem in line with US earlier decision to do so.

If this happens, Romania will be the first EU member-state to follow the example of the US, who have so far been joined by Guatemala and Honduras.

The Jerusalem Post writes that Romania will "soon move its embassy to Jerusalem," citing Liviu Dragnea, president of the Chamber of Deputies and a member of Romania's ruling party, who spoke on Thursday.

President Klaus Iohannis has not been informed or consulted on a possible relocation to the Embassy of Romania in Israel, the Romanian Presidential Administration announced on Friday, underscoring that the move will only be possible after a thorough analysis that takes into account all its external political consequences and implications.
