Romanian President Nicușor Dan on Sunday nominated center-right politician Adrian Veștea to be the country’s next prime minister, after the previous candidate failed to win enough support to form a technocratic government.

“Mr. Eugen Tomac resigned his mandate this morning and under these conditions I appoint Mr. Adrian Veştea as Prime Minister,” Dan announced at the presidential Cotroceni Palace.

“He is a person who attracted European funds, he is a person concerned with development … he is a categorically pro-Western person,” Dan said. “So I am convinced that he will successfully fulfill this task.”
