Speaking on Thursday in Paris at the end of the „Coalition of the Willing” summit on Ukraine security, acting President Ilie Bolojan declared that Romania will participate in the working group tasked with monitoring the freshly brokered 30-day Ukraine ceasefire agreement.
„The participating countries agreed to continue supporting Ukraine and strengthening the Eastern flank. As concerns the monitoring of the agreed 30-day ceasefire, a working group will be set up, which will cooperate on monitoring observance of the agreement. In this regard, because the agreement refers to the Black Sea, an area of strategic importance for Romania, because we have major investments there, because a considerable part of our exports are sent out by sea, because the Port of Constanta is the most important port on the Black Sea, Romania will participate in this working group both with its infrastructure and through collaboration with Turkey and Bulgaria on the mine clearance part. We will collaborate so that this agreement is respected, because a safe Black Sea, which guarantees secure navigation for all ships, is a good thing for trade and for development in this area,” said Bolojan.
