The Financial Times report reiterates Brussels officials' recommendations after the referendum for Bucharest authorities. There is mentioned Barroso's demand that Romanian should continue reforms, as the EU is concerned about the ongoing political disputes paralyzing such processes, the fight of corruption included.

There is also estimated that Basescu wants to make use of people's support to press the Parliament to pass a new electoral law to provide at least one element in favor of the uninominal vote, which would help politicians regain citizens' trust. There is also quoted a statement by the President: unless the Parliament passes a new electoral law by June 30, he will call for referendum.
