“We’re talking about European citizens who have equal rights and obligations in the entire European area, both from the perspective of criminal law in all EU member states and of the right to be protected by the laws of the country where they work,” Diaconescu told a press conference.
“I could ask you the same, which is the reaction of the Romanian authorities towards the Romanians that are victims of the same crimes. Crime has no nationality,” Diaconescu said.
“We will take absolutely no measure to limit the right to circulation. We, those who no longer live under communism, had a hard time earning this right. And it regards the right of a people,” Diaconescu said.
He said he will never accept even the slightest interpretation of an incident affecting the entire community.
Diaconescu said Romania is deeply concerned about the safety of its citizens.
“We are equally preoccupied by the safety of the Romanian citizens, and generalizing crimes of features to the level of a community is profoundly unjust, perhaps brutal,” Diaconescu said.
The Romanian minister told his Italian counterpart of the need of a clear signal of cooperation.
“We can strongly state that the deep privileged partnership with Italy works,” Diaconescu said.
He said that the problems of the parties fade when it comes to the commitments and the cooperation between the two countries.
