Former Prime Minister Adrian Năstase emphasizes the need for Romania to reassess its strategic partnerships in light of changing global dynamics influenced by the Ukraine war and shifting U.S. priorities. In his editorial, he argues that mere NATO and EU membership is insufficient for effective foreign policy. Năstase highlights the importance of evaluating bilateral relations and warns that Romania risks being sidelined in decisions affecting its future. He notes that Romania has around 15 strategic partnerships but questions their effectiveness, stressing that results matter more than the number of agreements. He calls for a proactive approach to diplomacy, especially as major powers redefine their priorities, and urges Romania to clarify its diplomatic criteria beyond security guarantees.
