In this context, the Prime Minister also recalled the projects aimed at Romania\u2019s multilateral development, such as those in its road infrastructure, healthcare and education as well as the fiscal reform. According to him, the time for implementing these investments is a short one of up to 2 years, as envisaged by the National Plan of Recovery and Resilience.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the first one I got from my parents, and the second was said by a great writer of the English-speaking world: \u2018They didn\u2019t know it was impossible so they did it\u2019\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n Also worth mentioning in this context is that a draft law for the Romanians willing to return is currently being debated upon in the Bucharest Senate.
