Chelaru said Basescu will be sworn in on December 21 during a meeting of the Parliament which will also take notice of the result of the referendum for a single-chamber parliament downsized to a maximum 300 lawmakers.

Romania’s Constitutional Court Monday validated Basescu for a second term as the country’s president, as he got the largest number of votes in the presidential election runoff held on December 6.

In the referendum held on November 22, 77.78% of voters supported a single-chamber Parliament, and 88.4% supported downsizing the Parliament to maximum 300 MPs.
