NATO Deputy-General Secretary Mircea Geoana says there is “no risk” that alliance member Romania will be dragged into a war following the recent discovery of drone fragments on its territory near the border with war-torn Ukraine.
NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana sits with children during a school opening ceremony in Ghergani, Romania, Monday, Sept. 11, 2023. According to Eurostat, in 2022 Romania had the highest percentage of early school leavers in the European union with 16 percent of youngsters between the ages of 18 and 24 abandoning education.
But the proximity of Russia’s attacks on the other side of the Danube has left Romanian citizens living nearby“When you hear the sounds of war a few hundred meters from your home, from the place you work, it will generate emotion and anxiety,” said Geoana, a former Romanian foreign minister and ambassador to the U.S. “But there is no risk for Romania to be engaged in this conflict.”
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said last week that the allies had seen “other incidents, in Poland and elsewhere,” but did not elaborate. Under NATO’s Article 5 collective security guarantee, the 31 member nations pledge to all come to the aid of any member should it come under attack. At the same time, NATO is wary of being dragged into a wider war with Russia by any minor incident or mistake.
