“Roşia Montană remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Romanian state does not pay any compensation. I hope that those who accused me in recent years understand that the national property of world importance is not for sale and that it is our duty to protect it honestly, to the end,” former Prime Minister Dacian Cholos wrote on his Facebook page. .

Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu announced on Friday evening that Romania had won the case in the Roșia Montană case, in which Gabriel Resources was seeking compensation of around $6.7 billion.

The decision was reached in an arbitration proceeding with Gabriel Resources, the majority shareholder of Roşia Montană Gold Corporation (RMGC), the developer of the blocked gold mining project of the same name in the Apuseni Mountains. The arbitration procedure took place at the World Bank’s International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in Washington.
