Romania’s president, Klaus Iohannis, said Romania has fulfilled its objectives at the NATO summit in Vilnius. The Romanian president argued that the Alliance’s new defense plans, preparing for any security threat that could affect Romania, provide adequate answers. „Our decisions have unequivocally proved the strength of trans-Atlantic ties and allied unity. We have adopted new defense plans, offering the maximum level of security on the eastern flank of NATO, in the Black Sea region, including for Romania”, the president said at the end of the summit. As a result, Spanish authorities plan on deploying an additional 950 military to NATO’s eastern flank, 250 of whom will be deployed to Romania, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told a press conference in Vilnius. On the other hand, NATO members decided to simplify procedures for Ukraine’s NATO accession and increase overall support that the allies will provide to Kyiv’s efforts to liberate Russian-held territories.
