Klaus Iohannis has withdrawn his candidacy for the NATO leadership, and Romania will support Mark Rutte.

The decisions were made during a meeting of the CSAT, where President Klaus Iohannis asked the members to decide on supporting Mark Rutte’s candidacy for the post of NATO Secretary General.

The CSAT members expressed their support for the Dutch prime minister’s candidacy.

President Iohannis informed NATO allies last week about his withdrawal from the candidacy for the post of NATO Secretary General.
