EDITORIAL: Romanian political leaders and journalists lament the absence of a national project, noting past achievements such as privatization, NATO accession and EU membership mobilised energies but failed to resolve long‑standing disputes.

The piece references Andrei Marga’s remarks at an Alba Iulia conference about Romanian‑controlled territories outside Ukraine, sparking controversy. Nistorescu concludes that Romania has deliberately avoided defining a national project in order to stay within treaty obligations and prevent territorial claims that could trigger conflict. The tone is sharply critical and negative.
