Prime minister Marcel Ciolacu said that a joint meeting of the Romanian and Ukrainian governments will take place in the near future, most likely in Bucharest."More than likely, in the coming period we will have a meeting again, the Ukrainian government with the Romanian government. This is how it was established when we had the last meeting in Kiev, we will determine whether it will be in Bucharest. Diplomatically, it should be in Bucharest," Marcel Ciolacu told Euronews Romania on Wednesday."I would like the format to be broader.There should be Romania and Poland, and Ukraine and possibly the Republic of Moldova. At the moment we are working on ... Because we are talking about a regional strategy and we are talking about the countries that have helped Ukraine the most and when there was migration, these are the routes," Ciolacu said.In this context, he pointed out that Ukraine's economic sustainability is also largely due to the involvement of the Romanian state and Romania's decisions, primarily the one related to grain transit."We really have taken measures to compensate Romanian farmers. There is always room for improvement, but we found this licensing system that we have agreed with the prime minister of Ukraine, Denis Shmihal, and then it was approved by the Commission and now we see that all European countries have taken up this formula. It is still a state in need and aggressed by another state without any real basis," said Ciolacu.The previous joint meeting of the Romanian and Ukrainian governments took place in Kiev last autumn, on 18 October.
