Romanian presidential candidates Mircea Geoana and Traian Basescu Thursday debated the country’s relationship with neighbor Ukraine and the use of the resources in the Black Sea continental plateau.

Central and Eastern Europe must raise their game and contribute to global debates and not take American involvement in the region for granted, writes Romanian social democrat leader Mircea Geoana in an opinion article in the online edition of the New York Times.

Romanian president Traian Basescu contacted the leaders of the two Chambers of Parliament saying he wants to address lawmakers to present a report on Romania’s local and foreign policy. The exact date of the meeting will be set later in a meeting of the reunited Standing Offices.
