Romanian President Invites Parties To Talks On Constitution Revision - Sources

Romanian President Traian Basescu has invited parties and parliamentary groups to the presidential palace next week for talks on the revision of the country's Constitution, people close to the matter told MEDIAFAX Monday.

The sources said talks are scheduled at 3 p.m. next Monday.

The Romanian Parliament's standing offices have recently rejected the proposition of the ruling Democratic Liberal Party (PDL) regarding the setting up of a committee to revise the Constitution. Social Democratic Party and Liberal Party lawmakers, in opposition, voted against PDL's proposition.

Romanian Liberals Re-Elect Antonescu As President

Romanian liberals re-elected Crin Antonescu as party president Saturday.

Antonescu got 986 of liberal delegates' votes, while his rival Ludovic Orban secured 357 votes.

On Friday, the delegates voted in favor of adopting the Party Statute proposed by Antonescu. Under this new statute, the entire party leadership is elected together with the party president. Orban opposed this system and said he supported electing the party's leaders one by one.
