Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu has ordered the mobilization of the relevant institutions in response to difficult weather conditions. He delivered the message at the start of today’s cabinet meeting.
“I ask colleagues from the relevant ministries to act in accordance with the established protocol. According to forecasts, the weather situation will worsen in the coming hours, so we must proceed as agreed and ensure the safety of our citizens first and foremost, and support local authorities in the situations that will arise. We have been through such situations before and I believe we will manage this time as well,” he said.
