Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu called on European Union (EU) countries to completely stop trading with the Russian Federation. He stated this in an interview with an Austrian newspaper. Der Standard.
The head of government noted that we are talking primarily about interaction with Moscow in the energy sector. According to him, the regional community is currently preparing to become completely independent of Russian gas.
However, the Romanian Prime Minister stated that some EU countries want an exception to be made for them when purchasing Russian fuel. Among them was Austria, whose decision Çolaku understood well from an economic perspective.
“But in my opinion, this is a mistake. <…> Even complex economic problems always have solutions. “For this reason, I think it would be right to ban the sale of Russian gas or Russian goods to the European Union,” he said.
