The EU "congratulated Romania on the important progress it has already made in preparing for membership and encouraged renewed and sustained efforts in order to be able to address outstanding issues in the limited time remaining," said a statement issued after a meeting of the EU-Romania Association Council.
Evropska unija “čestitala je Rumuniji na važnom napretku koji je već postignut u okviru priprema za članstvo i ohrabrila Bukurešt da obnovi i pojača svoje napore, a u cilju rešavanja preostalih pitanja u prilično ograničenom vremenskom roku koji preostaje”, stoji u saopštenju izdatom posle sastanka Saveta za pridruživanje EU i Rumunije.
