Romania will not go to war and there is no reason for panic or alarm regarding the country’s possible involvement in a military conflict, the government said on Tuesday in response to fake information circulated in the public space, which features Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan speaking about Romania’s alleged involvement in an armed conflict, which misleads public opinion.

„The Romanian state’s decision is firm: Romania will not enter war. Romania is a safe country, a full member of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO), benefiting from solid security guarantees that ensure the protection of its territory and citizens. There is no reason for panic or alarm regarding Romania’s possible engagement in a military conflict. The state institutions are working within the normal parameters, and the social and economic life of the Romanian citizens and companies carries on under completely safe conditions,” the government stated.

The Executive also calls on all citizens to seek information from official and verified sources.

„The spread of false information can generate unjustified panic and can seriously affect the climate of public trust. For correct and updated information, please consult the official websites and channels of the Romanian state institutions,” the government advises.
