Deputy Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu has canceled his holiday in Austria, where he has been going with his family for 15 years, to boycott the negative vote on Schengen, government sources said on Monday.

Grindyanu was supposed to go to Austria immediately after Christmas and stay there on New Year’s Eve.

Transport Minister Sorin Grindeanu said on December 13 that CNAIR had informed him that it was going to move its accounts from BCR, a move that would be made by all companies under the Ministry of Transport.

• “The National Road Infrastructure Management Company has announced some intention to do this (no – transfer their accounts from BCR) and I know they will, they told me too. And not only TsNAIR.
• I was told that other companies coordinated by the Ministry of Transport, whether we are talking about the port of Constanta, whether we are talking about the Bucharest airport and all the others, because they found better conditions in the CEC.
• The simplest explanation possible.” Sorin told Grindean then.

President Klaus Iohannis declared on December 14 that there will be no boycott of the Romanian state and public authorities in Romania against Austria, after Vienna blocked our country’s entry into Schengen.

“In fact, we have two problems: the reserved attitude of Austria and the vote of the Netherlands, it was ambiguous: for Romania it was yes, for Bulgaria it was half no.” These are questions that need to be addressed. This moment, in my opinion, can be solved in one way, by diplomacy. Everything else should be excluded. I heard thoughts, advice. There will be no boycott of Austria by state and public bodies,” Iohannis said before the European Council, where the head of state announced that he would raise the issue of Romania’s accession to Schengen.
