Ursula von der Leyen vine în România: Președinta Comisiei Europene, întâlniri cu Nicușor Dan și Luca Niculescu

Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, will visit Romania on November 9 to meet with President Nicușor Dan and Prime Minister Luca Niculescu. This visit is part of a broader tour in the Black Sea region amid recent drone attacks on commercial vessels. The meeting at Cotroceni Palace is scheduled for 3:30 PM. Following Romania, von der Leyen will travel to Bulgaria, Turkey, and Ireland for various engagements, including the COP31 climate conference. The backdrop of her visit includes recent incidents where nine commercial ships were attacked in the Black Sea, prompting calls from the European Parliament for increased EU naval operations and support for Romania and Bulgaria.
