Romanian President Nicușor Dan will lead the nation’s delegation to the NATO Summit in Ankara on July 7-8. The delegation includes Defense Minister Radu Miruță and Chief of the General Staff, General Gheorghiță Vlad. This inclusion occurs just a month after Romania’s DNA (National Anticorruption Directorate) placed General Vlad under criminal investigation. The Ministry of National Defence announced the delegation composition on July 5th. At the Summit, the Chief of the General Staff is expected to advocate for Romanian defense priorities. The situation raises questions about the implications of having an individual under investigation representing Romania at a key international event. Further details regarding the nature of the criminal investigation have not been released.
