President Basescu: Crimea referendum, illegal; Romania does not recognise its outcome Romania's President Traian Basescu says the Crimea referendum is illegal, pointing to the fact that Romania does not recognise the outcome of the plebiscite, the Presidential Administration reports in a press release. 'Romania believes the ongoing referendum in Crimea is illegal and will not recognise its outcome, given that the Constitutional Court of Ukraine has ruled unconstitutional the organisation of a referendum on the Crimean Peninsula breaking away from Ukraine. Ukraine's acting President Oleksandr Turchynov has signed a decree repealing Crimea's declaration of independence,' Basescu says in the release issued on last week.. He adds that 'a plebiscite held under the threat of military occupation violates the rules of a democratic process that can be recognised and legitimated by the world community,' and that 'the predictable and legally ungrounded outcome' of the referendum is tantamount to Crimea's annexation. 'We are urging the Russian Federation to act in its relationship with Ukraine in line with the United Nations Charter and the rules of the international law, including with the provisions in the Budapest Memorandum,' reads the release. Basescu concludes by saying Romania is supporting Ukraine's independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty as well as the resolution of the crisis through diplomatic means. 2. President Basescu: Romania must not fear aggression from either Russia or Ukraine 2 Arundel House, 4 Palace Green London W8 4QD UK Phone: 0044 (0)20 7937 9666 Fax: 0044 (0)20 7937 8069 e-mail: [email protected] web site: www.london.mae.ro Embassy of Romania in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Romanians must not fear aggression from either Russia or Ukraine, Romanian President Traian Basescu stated. 'There is no reason whatsoever for Romanians to fear possible aggression from the Russian Federation or Ukraine,' Basescu told Adevarul Live, a daily Adevarul webcast. He rejected of the most definite manner a possible war that would be triggered by the current situation in Crimea. 'Most definitely not, there will be no war, neither in the Black Sea region, nor in Ukraine, more less in Crimea,' said Basescu. According to him, Russia encouraged the Crimean referendum, thus failing to observe its promise, and that 'this is where the traditional risk' of Romanian-Russian relationships is embedded. 'In Budapest, in exchange for Ukraine's pledge to go non-nuclear, three great powers guaranteed Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence, provided that it does not attack any of them. This is not the case, this was not an aggression by Ukraine against the Russian Federation. So, the Russian Federation, along with the US and the UK should have observed [Ukraine's] territorial integrity. But what did the Russian Federation do? It encouraged this referendum where the Russian majority voted for Crimea's return to the Russian Federation. And this is a breach of promise by the Russian Federation,' said the President, also referring to the 1994 Memorandum according to which the USA, the Russian Federation and the UK pledged to provide assistance to Ukraine against whatever act of aggression, a deal Ukraine accepted and trusted. Two of the said powers kept their word,' Basescu said, 'adopting statements, stances in the spirit of the Budapest Memorandum. Yet the Russian Federation did not observe its pledge and this is where the traditional risk of our relationship with the Russian Federation and our almost historical reservations in this bilateral relationship - theirs toward us, undoubtedly too - arise from,' Basescu told Adevarul Live, a daily Adevarul webcast. The Romanian Head of State underscored that to him, what happened in Crimea is a projection of a possible scenario that might play in the Republic of Moldova too. 'And we cannot look at this in cold blood, because this is an emotional issue. We all know that the Republic of Moldova is the second Romanian state and it wouldn't suit us to see to such a scenario applied there,' Basescu underscored. He also stressed that 'there will be no military intervention by Romania, whatsoever.' 3. President Basescu calls for EPP support for Rep.Moldova's Association Agreement signing to be rushed in June Romania's President Traian Basescu said on arriving at the spring European Council meeting that he had called for support, during the Summit of the European People's Party (EPP), for the signing date of the EU - Republic of Moldova Association Agreement and Free Trade Agreement to be moved up to the end of June. 'I called for support at the EPP (summit - editor's note) for the signing of the Association Agreement and Free Trade Agreement to be moved forward to an earlier date; let's see what happens during the meeting of the Council. I mean, to be moved up to June, by the end of June,' Traian Basescu said. 'I raised all these issues at the EPP meeting - Ukraine, Transnistria, Gagauzia and Moldova,' said Basescu. The Romanian head of state mentioned that he would also raise these issues at the European Council meeting, stressing that he hopes to get the support of the European leaders.

On the sidelines of the Nuclear Security Summit also, the Romanian head of state discussed with Russian Federation Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Before leaving for The Hague, President Traian Basescu said the the Summit mainly aimed at reducing the threat of nuclear terrorism and at preventing the purchase of nuclear material by terrorists or unauthorised organisations.

  • Return of the Kings. Institutionalization of the Royal Families in the Republics of Romania and Montenegro in the 21St Century
    Marcin M. Wiszowaty* Uniwersytet Gdański RETURN OF THE KINGS. INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE ROYAL FAMILIES IN THE REPUBLICS OF ROMANIA AND MONTENEGRO IN THE 21ST CENTURY 1. In my latest book I took note of the phenomenon which I defined as a “re- publican paradigm in the research on the political systems of modern states”. This trend is very often encountered in the process of analyzing political systems. On one hand, it consist in omitting or marginalizing all characteristic elements of the monarchy, which do not have their republican equivalent, and on the other hand it focuses on democratic aspects of political system, ignoring its monarchic or republican character. This trend mainly results from a commonly-accepted as- sumption, that the so-called constitutional monarchy is only a stage on its way to the inevitable transformation of a political system from the absolute monarchy into the pure republic, which makes it only a transitional form. It brings about the fact that in case of monarchic states, the only subject of political system analysis is usually the monarch himself, as the last remnant of the past monarchy, whereas the other institutions of the monarchic system are ignored in the belief that they constitute insignificant relics, or even that they have already turned fully into the “republican” character.1 One of the consequences of the above-mentioned inter- pretation is a gradual replacement of a traditional categorization into “republics” or “monarchies” by classifying the states as “democratic” or “undemocratic”. As a result, the two categories will encompass both monarchies and republics, ulti- mately reducing the fundamental differences between political systems.

  • A Balkan Comedy
    A Balkan Comedy Politics and daily life in Romania since 1989 have been as strange, and at times as sinister, as they were during the 24-year rule of Nicolae Ceausescu. Three recent events—two weddings and a funeral—drew the author into the absurdist drama of postcommunist Romania. by William McPherson The marriage of Margareta of Romania and Radu Duda on September 21, 1996, marked a symbolic coming together of two former dynasties, royal and communist. 50 WQ Summer 1997 omedies are supposed to end with a wedding, where this one begins. The funeral comes later. The wedding, a royal wedding at that, involves an ancient dynasty that was but has effectively ceased to be. And, in a sense, it was a royal funeral too, in an incipient dynasty that would have been but Cnever quite was. But first the wedding, which could not have taken place but for the events that began to unfold some 50 years before. On August 23, 1944, the tall and handsome King Michael of Romania—now the father of the bride—threw the country’s pro-Nazi dictator into a palace safe and turned his country to the Allies, thereby shortening the course of the war by some months. The next year at Yalta, the Allies thanked him by ceding his country to the Soviets, who then betrayed him—a kind of double double-cross. The Americans gave him a Jeep and a medal. By December 30, 1947, the Communists had completed their takeover of his country. Under threat of gunfire, the popular king, then only 26, was forced to abdicate, hus- tled onto a train and into exile.

Kiseleff 32 Bucharest Romania , Herastrau Anyone who still thinks that Bucharest is a city of concrete and cement has clearly never been to the city’s lung, the incomparable Herastrau Park. Quite simply, this glorious park, spread over 187 hectares around Herastrau lake is one of the jewels in Bucharest’s crown, which might explain why half of the city chooses to spend its summer Sunday afternoons here. Herastrau was laid out from 1930-36 on what had until then been mainly marshland around the (natural) lake. The Village Museum - which occupies a large part of Herastrau and which is one of its most popular attractions was created at the same time. As early as the late 19th century, however, parts of the lakeshore served as a promenade for Bucharest’s wealthy, and the area surrounding the lake had long since become the most fashionable in the city. Indeed, the residence of Romania’s royal family, the Elisabeta Palace, is found inside Herastrau (although it is closed to the public). The name Herastrau has been in general use since the early 1960s. Herastrau was long neglected in the wake of the Romanian revolution of 1989, as the priorities of a country in transition lie elsewhere. In recent times however, the park has enjoyed much investment and has for a couple of years now once again been able to claim the title of the city’s best.
