Moreover, the political decisions factors are called to offer safe and stable conditions, to find concrete solutions to solve the present crisis and to assume responsibility. Taking into consideration the challenges, as well as the global and regional opportunities, Romania could be one of the winners, especially in the context of financing which is going to come from the EU, if the necessary stability is offered, a clear direction and if concrete solutions are put to practice.
