More scenarios emerged during the informal negotiations with the pro-Western parties in Romania last week, and the country will have a new government within “a reasonable period of time,” president Nicusor Dan announced on May 9 after he carried out talks with the parties of the former ruling coalition during the previous days. The new government will have among its first tasks to draft the 2027 budget plan by the end of September, president Dan said, according to Digi24 . President Dan also assured that "there is an agreement" supposedly among the parties of the former ruling coalition about passing in Parliament the legislation needed for the country's successful absorption of the Resilience Facility (RRF) money, advancing along the OECD candidacy, concluding the defence endowment contracts under the EU-backed SAFE scheme, and executing the 2026 budget in line with the target agreed with the European Commission.
