The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs terms as ‘regrettable’ the fact that the law on national minorities in Ukraine was adopted by the Supreme Rada in Kyiv, in the absence of a new consultation of the Venice Commission. It is also regrettable that the law was adopted in the absence of an adequate consultation of the representatives of the Romanian community in Ukraine, as requested by the authorities in Bucharest, says the MFA. According to the cited source, the Romanian side constantly invoked in the contacts with the Ukrainian side the promise of the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, according to which the people belonging to the Romanian community in Ukraine would benefit from the same treatment that the people belonging to the Ukrainian community benefit from in Romania. Adopted a few days ago, the law does not solve the problems of education in the Romanian language and does not give minorities more rights.
