Romania’s Foreign Ministry on Monday said that neighbouring Hungary would support Bucharest’s bid to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, OECD.
It also separately opposed Croatia’s membership over a corruption row involving Hungary’s oil company MOL.
Hungarian Foreign Ministry said it had reversed its stance on Romania after receiving assurance from the head of the governing Social Democratic Party that the situation at the school in Târgu Mureș would be resolved.
