On February 4, 2010, Romania’s Supreme Council of National Defense accepted U.S. president Barack Obama’s invitation to take part in the adaptive development of the European anti-missile defense system. According to the new approach, Romania’s entire territory will be protected against short- and average-range missile threats.
