Romanian PM Accept Foreign Affairs Min Resignation

The fact that Tariceanu accepted Cioroianu’s resignation was confirmed by the Romanian government through a press release.

"Prime Minister Calin Tariceanu acknowledged the resignation of Adrian Cioroianu from the position of foreign affairs minister, announced tonight, and accepted this resignation. The prime minister will now initiate procedures for the appointment of a new foreign affairs minister," said the press release.

Romanian foreign affairs minister Adrian Cioroianu announced, Friday, that he presented his honorary resignation, as a result of the Crulic case.

Cioroianu said he did not receive any information on the real situation of Claudiu Crulic, the Romanian citizen who died of starvation in Poland, protesting against what he claimed to be his unjust arrest.

Romanian citizen Claudiu Crulic died in a Polish hospital, after going on hunger strike, protesting against the fact that he was arrested by authorities in Warsaw.

Crulic was arrested for theft in Poland on October 10. 2007, and died on January 18, 2008, when Polish authorities released him from custody, sending him to a hospital, since his health was precarious because of the hunger strike.
