Former Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan criticized ANCOM for blocking nearly €200,000 for protocol activities in Arab countries, claiming it was for a personal candidacy. However, official documents reveal the funds were intended to support Romania's candidacy for a new term in the ITU Council. Bolojan's assertions about the project being a surprise contradict its prior public consultation. ANCOM's Vice President, Pavel Popescu, accused Bolojan of hindering a strategic objective for Romania, emphasizing the importance of the ITU Council for international telecommunications decisions. The project included significant expenses for promoting Romania's candidacy, including a reception for 1,000 guests and cultural programs.
