„I thank the ambassador and all those involved in the process of reducing the refusal rate – the companies that supported this campaign, the Romanian citizens and the administration staff who contributed to this process. The Romanian Government will remain as involved as ever in everything that means accomplishing all the procedural steps that still need to be taken to achieve this major objective,” said Prime Minister Ciolacu, as quoted in the release.

In her turn, the US ambassador in Bucharest thanked the Romanian Government and Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu for the effective dialogue and constructive decisions made to achieve the goal of joining the Visa Waiver Program.
