Mircea Geoana, a president of the Romanian Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee, said yesterday when Romania's foreign minister Lazar Comanescu and defense minister Teodor Melescanu were questioned that the senators wanted to learn if Romanian authorities were willing to have dialogue with Russia. The official announced: "We want to learn if the two ministries and Romanian authorities are thinking about a reshaping or about starting a dialogue, with Moscow too, even if these are difficult circumstances and even if such complicated episodes are leading to a more complex change of the geo-political balance in the region." Mircea Geoana also asked for more information about Romania's approach to Ukraine's NATO admission. (C.A.)
