"Romania is one of the countries affected by the lack of the anti-missile shield and in this respect we will continue to support the commitment of the Alliance which is to give a solution for fully covering the territory of the Alliance with the anti-missile shield," said the head of state, before his departure to summit of the Alliance.
In Feb 2007, the United States initiated official negotiations with Poland and the Czech Republic on the placing of radar facilities and anti-missile interception. The objective of this antimissile shield is to protect the largest part of Europe in case of a possible long-range strike from Iran. The move in question has generated a tough reaction from Russia, that threatened that it will place short-range missiles from Iran.
The move in question has generated a tough reaction from Russia, which has threatened it will place nuclear fuse missiles at the border with the NATO states, unless Russia gives up its intention to place the anti-missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.
In July 2008, in Prague, the US secretary-general Condolezza Rice and the Czech foreign minister Karel Schwartzenberg signed an agreement for the placing of a ballistic anti-missile radar in the Czech Republic. In Aug 2008, in Warsaw, Condolezza Rice and Polish ForMin Radoslaw Sikorski signed an agreement for the placing on the ground of interceptors of ballistic missiles in the territory of Poland.

Bush said last April, in Bucharest that the shield should be extended at the level of the entire North-Atlantic Alliance, for ensuring in this way the security of the entire Europe, he warned about the security of the entire Europe, he warned then about the Iranian warning.
