Romania Edges Closer to Visa-Free Travel to the US
Romania is making strides toward joining the Visa Waiver Program, a significant milestone that would enable its citizens to travel to the United States visa-free for up to 90 days
Romanians will go to the polls to elect a new President on Sunday November 22, with a choice of three main contenders, and against a backdrop of prolonged political inaction.
The centrist incumbent, Traian Basescu, currently holds a slim lead (33% support), according to Romanian opinion polls, over his main rival, left-wing Mircea Geona (30%). The third candidate, Crin Antonescu, is trailing well behind, with 18% support.
The polls predict a run-off will be required on December 6, if, as seems likely, no one wins an overall majority on Sunday.
Basescu is campaigning on an austerity ticket, seeking to reduce Romania’s budget deficit significantly in 2010. The country has recently been forced to secure some EUR 20 B in loans from the IMF and the EU.
The government has not agreed its state budget for 2010, partly as a result of the recent collapse of the ruling coalition, and has failed to pay tranches of its international debt on schedule.
