Antonescu said that should he be elected president, he will respect the Constitution and nominate Klaus Johannis, the acting mayor of Sibiu, to be the new prime minister. The liberal leader warned Basescu that he cannot delay appointing Johannis beyond December 6.

Antonescu said his party will not be intimidated by the Basescu’s decision and that they will call for a meeting of the Chambers of Parliament, which will prove that Johannis is supported by a majority. Furthermore, Antonescu said, the liberals will notify the Constitutional Court.

Romanian President Traian Basescu announced Thursday he has designated Lucian Croitoru, former advisor to the governor of the National Bank of Romania, to be the interim prime minister.
