Romanian Foreign minister Adrian Cioroianu will deliver an analysis as the Supreme National Defence Council-CSAT later this week on Russia's withdrawal from the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE), which he says did not represent a surprise for Romania or its allies.

A press release issued on Tuesday states that the Ministry elaborates a material on the issue and solicits its discussion in the CSAT due to take place on Thursday, July 19.

The reaction comes shortly after the main opposition party, the Social Democrats (PSD), announced their plan to summon Cioroianu at the Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committees to state Romania's position in case Russia withdraws from the Treaty.

Cioroianu mentioned that the official position of Romania is correlated with the other NATO counterparts.
