He also said that the talks with the European leader will address "the issue of the deficit and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR)".

"As you know, Mrs von der Leyen has visited countries on the eastern flank. There will be a discussion regarding European defence on the eastern flank, the SAFE mechanism, and matters concerning our relations with the European Commission and, it is no secret, the issue of the deficit and the PNRR," said Nicusor Dan. 

Before Romania, Ursula von der Leyen also visited Bulgaria on Sunday. The visit is part of her tour of the countries on the EU's eastern border – Latvia, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Romania.
