Asked what his next step would be if a Government led by Croitoru is not accepted in Parliament, Basescu said the only alternative is to nominate as prime minister a politician from the party with the largest number of lawmakers, adding he cannot say names.

During talks held Tuesday with democrat liberals on the future prime minister, Basescu referred to the Democratic Liberal Party as "the party with the largest number of lawmakers."

Romanian President Traian Basescu on Thursday nominated Lucian Croitoru, an advisor to the central bank Governor, as Prime Minister to replace democrat liberal Emil Boc whose Cabinet lost Parliament confidence Tuesday.
