Romanian President Nicusor Dan has nominated a new prime minister after Eugen Tomac dropped out on Sunday.

"Eugen Tomac resigned this morning, and under these circumstances, I am appointing Adrian Vestea as Prime Minister," Dan announced in a post on X.

"Neither Mr. Tomac nor I have been playing at governing," he added. "We moved in this direction following consultations with the political parties. At this point, however, it is clear that a political solution is the right one".
