A delegation of eight members of the US Congress, Democrats and Republicans, is set to arrive in Bucharest on Monday evening.

On Tuesday, the US delegation will have a series of meetings with interim President Ilie Bolojan, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and Romanian MPs.

Parliamentary sources confirmed for AGERPRES the meeting with members of the Romanian legislature.

The US delegation is led by Republican Vern Buchanan, the cited sources specified.

Presidential advisor Cristian Diaconescu announced, last Friday on private broadcaster Antena 3 CNN, the visit of the US Congress delegation to Bucharest.

„I confirm that at the beginning of next week a significant delegation of the US Congress is expected to come to Romania, with contacts at all significant decision-making levels in Romania. This is very good. There will be another development in this regard by the end of this month. It is important, because the strategic elements that are of interest to us and to the Americans will be discussed. There is also the Black Sea strategy, which the US Congress developed last year with bipartisan support, and both Republicans and Democrats will be present in Bucharest. (…) We will also discuss the annulled elections. We are ready. We will give answers about what happened, but also guarantees about what will happen. It is a step forward,” said Cristian Diaconescu.
