MEPs call on Russia to fully return Romania’s treasury! EC ready to support any initiative

Eurodeputies unanimously urged Russia on Thursday morning, during an emotional debate in the European Parliament, to fully return Romania’s treasure, with the EU executive and other relevant European institutions committed to supporting this endeavor.

The debate, attended overwhelmingly by Romanian MEPs, marked the first time the issue of Romania’s treasure illegally appropriated by Russia was addressed in the European Parliament, as reported by Agerpres.

European Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira, stated in her opening remarks that she speaks on behalf of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell.

“You invited the European Commission to speak about the return of Romania’s national treasure by Russia. The treasure was transferred to the Tsarist Empire for safekeeping, but it was never fully returned to Romania, neither by the USSR nor by the Russian Federation,” the senior EU official reminded.

“The European Union is ready to support the Romanian authorities in the full recovery of the treasure if they so request,” Elisa Ferreira emphasized. However, she warned that “Russia’s unjustified war against Ukraine has led to the suspension of cooperation mechanisms” with Moscow.

She lamented that the war against Ukraine “is a crime and a blatant violation of international law” and reminded that “measures against Russia include the largest package of sanctions adopted by the EU.”
