During the hearing, Berca said one of his term’s priorities will be putting together “an action team,” meaning “every person in the ministry’s management will know what they have to do.”

Another priority will be checking how the police actually works in the country, especially in rural areas. The issue of Romania’s administrative reorganization will not be closed, Berca said.

Asked about his plan to fight drug trafficking, the minister nominee said “the fight must be hard and fought to the end.”
