"The Russians shouldn’t feel threatened in any way"

The Russian Federation doesn’t have to fell threatened by the small contingent that the USA is to transfer to Romania is the opinion of the new Washington representative in Bucharest, Nicholas Taubman. During his first press conference since coming to Romania, Taubman showed that Russia, as well as the USA, fights against terrorism and this is something that connects them and makes them mutually understand the measures to be taken in order to knock the threats. "I think the Russians understand this because they have been victims of terrorism. This is the exact purpose of the military bases. I don’t believe there are any divergences on this issue between us and the Russians", the USA Ambassador stated, adding that he did not believe that Moscow sees a small contingent as a threat.

THE OLD PROBLEMS

Nicholas Taubman also referred to the priorities of his mandate in Romania, mentioning some of the main problems that the country is facing at present: corruption, the business environment and the infrastructure.

He says the laws are of no use if they are not applied. "If you don’t have aggressive magistrates to effectively apply the laws, then they don’t have any value. You need magistrates to apply severe laws and sentence severe punishments for the serious crimes", Taubman stated.

He talked about the adoptions as well, referring to the position of his predecessors who supported the finalization the adoptions that had started before the initiation of the law that hardly allows the foreigners to adopt Romanian children.
