Președintele Nicușor Dan evită să invoce Articolul 4 al Tratatului NATO, care ar duce la discutarea agresiunii Rusiei asupra navelor comerciale din Marea Neagră

Romania's President Nicușor Dan has avoided questions regarding the potential invocation of NATO Article 4 following recent drone attacks on ships in Romanian territorial waters. This article allows member states to consult on threats to their security. Romania previously invoked Article 4 in February 2022 after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Political sources indicate that Romania is cautious about activating this mechanism to avoid trivializing it, especially since NATO allies have shown solidarity in the past. Dan emphasized the need for a coordinated response to Russian aggression but did not provide a clear answer on invoking Article 4 during recent press conferences.
