“Out of a kind of Euro-Atlantic solidarity we have all the reasons to earnestly examine such an option,” said Baconschi when he was asked how Romania would work if it were suggested to host elements of the anti-missile shield.
He admitted that currently people lived under the impression that the Obama Administration was less interested in the area of Central Europe than the previous Bush Administration was.
During the visit he paid to Bucharest in October US Vice-President Joe Biden said that the reconfiguration of the anti-missile defence system suggested by President Barack Obama was related to the need to face new threats and the US would not conclude agreements “running counter to the will” of its allies in Central Europe.
Biden emphasized the fact that the new anti-missile shield created by the Obama Administration, unlike the initial one, intelligently ensured security in the context of the progress made by this threat and the technological development.
In his speech he also combated the opinion that has lately been stated, according to which the change suggested by the Obama Administration referring to the anti-missile defence system prepared during George W Bush’s term in office was a concession to Russia, detrimental to Europe.
