Romania Again Expresses Interest In Hosting Interceptors

April 12, 2006 :: News

Romania has again expressed interest in hosting U.S. missile defense interceptors on its soil. Defense Minister Teodor Atanasiu on Monday said that such a project would assure his nation’s protection and therefore “must be taken into account.” It was the first time that a Romanian official admitted that the country could host a missile defense base. Atanasiu added that Romania has made a similar offer to several countries in addition to the U.S., but referred to name these countries.
        On December 6, 2005, the U.S. and Romania signed a treaty allowing the U.S. to establish military bases in Romania. One day later, the French daily Le Figaro reported that the Romanian government had already initiated talks with the U.S. concerning the possibility of hosting a missile defense base. The newspaper alleged that the U.S. preferred Romania to Poland, as the authorities in Bucharest seemed more willing to cooperate. (Article)
