The president made this statement at the start of a discussion with Richard Morningstar, Special Envoy of the United States Secretary of State for Eurasian Energy. The meeting was also attended by US Ambassador Mark Gitenstein and presidential adviser Cristian Diaconescu.
Basescu also said Romania’s energy policy objectives for the region are similar to those of the United States, which also support the finding of alternative solutions to supply the Balkans and Europe with gas and oil.
