The Deputy Secretary General of NATO, Mircea Geoana, said that there is no risk of Romania entering the war after the recent incidents, when parts of a drone were found on its territory, near the border with Ukraine, involved in the war with Russia .
"The most important thing is to reconfirm the fact that there is no indication of a deliberate action by Russia to attack Romanian territory, therefore NATO territory," Geoana told reporters during a visit to a school near the capital Romanian, Bucharest.
The comments of the deputy head of NATO come days after Romanian authorities confirmed that they have found parts of drones on their territory, following attacks by Russian forces on Ukrainian ports on the Danube River, located across the Romanian border.
But the proximity of Russia's attacks on the rest of the Danube has Romanian citizens living nearby fearing that their country could be drawn into the war.
"When you hear the sounds of war a few hundred meters away from your home, your workplace, they will generate excitement and anxiety, but there is no risk that Romania will be involved in this conflict," said Geoana .
After the second discovery of drone fragments on Saturday, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis said they were "similar to those used by the Russian military" and that the incident hinted at "absolutely unacceptable violations of sovereign airspace". of Romania, a NATO ally, with real security risks for Romanian citizens in that area".
"I want to assure the Romanian public and especially those on the border with Ukraine that they have no reason to worry ," Geoana said, adding that he will visit that area.
Last week, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the allies had seen "other incidents in Poland and elsewhere," but did not elaborate.
