Romania's reaction was strong, immediate", said the head of state.Iohannis reiterated that Romania is stable and spoke about "the hard lesson we received in the last weeks". At the same time, the head of state pointed out, efforts are needed to combat Russia's "malignant" interference, "to reduce our exposure to these treacherous attacks"."This is not a threat only to Romania, but to democracies," he added, regarding foreign interference in the electoral process, calling for coordination. According to him, the presidential elections should be organized "fairly quickly"."I believe they should be organised fairly quickly. I don't think a delay would help anything. On the other hand, I didn't expect, nor did it happen for the outgoing government to clarify this issue. I hope that the new Government will be formed as soon as possible and that it will tackle this issue promptly," said the president, in Brussels, to attend the European Council meeting on Thursday.
