„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.

„Romania remains firmly committed to the Strategic Partnership with the United States of America, and inviting our country to the Visa Waiver Program will deepen bilateral cooperation in the area of business and tourism exchanges,” the release also reads.

The Government also mentioned that Romania took several measures to meet the criteria for joining the Visa Waiver Program.
