Romania is a country that has a history within the European Union and in the North Atlantic Alliance, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca said on Thursday night in a TV broadcast on TVR 1 public television, agerpres reports.

He stressed that the current government can prove that "Romania is capable of changing" and have its own objective, asking Romanians to trust the members of the executive.

"For the next year I'm asking the Romanians to have confidence and hope that we will not spare any effort to be able to achieve the objectives we have assumed. I don't want to promise anything at all. (...) It is the facts that must characterize each of us and any decision we make will not take effect in the next period. These are decisions that have to produce effects over time. It is clear that we cannot fix and solve what has not been solved in years. Instead, we can make available the best of ourselves so that we can create that framework both for the Romanians in the country and for the Romanians abroad and to prove that Romania is capable of changing, Romania is able to transform, Romania is able to have its own objective and to play its role inside the European Union, inside North Atlantic Alliance. We are a country that has relevance. We cannot get over this," Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca said.
