Romania condemns Russia's attacks on commercial ships in the Black Sea
Published
Romania has submitted to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) a clear condemnation of Russia's systematic attacks on commercial ships in the Black Sea. According to the news agency Agerpres, these attacks have resulted in casualties, and Romanian authorities have stressed the seriousness of the situation.
The Black Sea is of major importance to Romania, because our country has access to the sea and important ports, such as Constanța. Essential goods for international trade pass through these ports, and the safety of navigation is therefore an issue that directly concerns Romania's interests.
In its statement, Romania drew attention to the risks that these attacks pose to maritime security and to freedom of navigation in the region. The country's representatives called for international law to be respected and for incidents of this kind to be avoided in future.
The statement at the OSCE shows that Romania continues to follow the situation in the Black Sea closely. To date, no additional concrete measures have been announced, but the issue remains an important one on the country's diplomatic agenda.
