Romanian president Klaus Iohannis has signed a decree acknowledging the resignation of Defence Minister Vasile Dincu at the same time designating Prime Minister Ciuca as the country’s interim defence minister.
We recall that Social-Democrat Ciuca stepped down on Monday saying that he cannot cooperate with the country’s president. Dincu’s resignation comes two weeks after he made a series of controversial statements concerning the situation in Ukraine.
The Social Democratic Party (PSD) has called for an emergency meeting of the ruling coalition for a decision on Dincu’s successor.
