ROMANIAN MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND EXTERNAL REPRESENTATION. TIMELINESS AND PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Article 102 of the Romanian Constitution states that "the Government, according to the government program accepted by the Parliament, ensures the achievement of the domestic and foreign policy of the country and exercises the general leadership of the public administration." As a rule, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the main mechanism called upon to meet the foreign policy objectives of each state. The foreign diplomatic service is subordinated to the Foreign Affairs Ministry, even if the ambassadors are appointed and recalled by the Romanian President. Both the head of state and the head of the government have their own limited mechanisms to assist them in the exercise of constitutional prerogatives in terms of foreign policy (usually foreign affairs advisers). Recently, the role and participation of the Foreign Ministry in organizing and carrying out international relations has increased greatly, both bilaterally and multilaterally, and developing what is commonly called diplomacy at the highest level. At the implementation level, specialized structures for multilateral relations have been set up, both within the ministries of foreign affairs and other ministries and institutions with external powers (departments, directorates-general, directorates, services, special advisers, etc.).
