Klaus Iohannis convened the SCND meeting for next Wednesday

President Klaus Iohannis convened a meeting of the Supreme Council of National Defense for next Wednesday to discuss the security situation in the extended Black Sea area and on the eastern flank of NATO, as well as the capabilities to respond to the new challenges of the security environment.

Meanwhile, the Romanian Foreign Ministry said that Russia's request to reduce the posture of NATO forces in all Alliance states that joined after 1997, including troops, has already been publicly rejected by NATO and is not negotiable.
