Klaus Iohannis recalled that a decade ago, parents started building a better world for their children. For this reason, the President argues, the successors of those who have built a European Romania have a duty to preserve and strengthen its legacy for the generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<h2>Romanians around the world not to lose confidence in Romania<\/h2>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The President went on to say that Romania\u2019s European accession enjoyed a strong public support, because the people first of all opted for a set of values and principles: a consolidated democracy, the rule of law, a dignifying life in peace and prosperity. The President urged Romanians around the world not to lose confidence in Romania. \u201cWhether you are living at home or abroad, don\u2019t lose confidence in Romania! There is still a lot to be done, but I hope we will succeed, together\u201d, President Iohannis also said.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Klaus Iohannis highlighted the fact that the progress reported so far must not be slowed down, but followed up with determination and responsibility.
