He underscored that the Romanian Presidency of the EU Council will follow a pragmatic approach to deliver results that can bring concrete benefits to European citizens.

Ciamba also pointed out that, at the level of MAE and the relevant national bodies, all the necessary logistical and protocol measures are taken to ensure the smooth running of the meetings that Romania will host during its Presidency of the EU Council.
