Romanians are still navigating the difficult path of building democratic institutions and a culture of transparency. At the same time, widespread perceptions of corruption and cronyism have caused many Romanians to see little change from communist leadership. On this episode of NewstalkZB's Leighton Smith Podcast, GPF Senior Analyst Antonia Colibasanu discusses Romania’s position and future influence in Europe and analyses the difficulties the country is faced with, including energy and security. She also summarizes the country’s relationship between Russia, Ukraine, Poland and the rest of Europe.
