Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, will visit Romania on November 9, 2026, amid regional security challenges in the Black Sea. She will meet with President Nicușor Dan and Prime Minister Luca Niculescu to discuss European funds, economic reforms, and defense capabilities. This visit follows a series of bomb threats affecting European air traffic, raising concerns about coordinated destabilization efforts. Von der Leyen's visit is significant as it marks one of her first high-level interactions with the new prime minister, who took office on October 20, 2026. The discussions will also address Romania's access to European funds and security issues in the region.
