Iohannis, as cited by ITAR TASS, suggested that it was time to get down to work.

Iohannis told journalists that Romania would continue its strategic partnership with US and would preserve its role in NATO and the EU.
He underscored that Romania would continue to be a serious and reliable partner.
Iohannis also thanked voters for their support and urged the Cabinet to punish the officials responsible for the poor organization of elections abroad.
