Romania aims to secure €6.4 billion through the last two payment requests from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). Minister Mihai Ghigiu has sought support from the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, emphasizing the need to access remaining funds. He highlighted the urgency of fulfilling administrative obligations to recover delays from the interim government period. The goal is to complete outstanding procedures by the end of the year to maximize European funding by February or March. Ghigiu stressed that these funds should lead to concrete projects improving public services and local infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, and utilities. The European Commission has expressed willingness to assist Romania in this process.
