However 2015 was the year of returning to normality, when a deep reconstruction process of the Romanian society was started. With hope, courage and determination, Romanians have proved that they can overcome any obstacle”.

Klaus Iohannis: “Today, when we mark the beginning of a new year, I wish you all a 2016 with happiness, many accomplishments and higher aspirations. I look at 2016 with confidence. I want that changes for the better should take shape in Romania. It depends on us alone to use all opportunities in order to go forward and turn Romania into the country we want. A Happy New Year, dear Romanians, wherever you are!”
