In a press conference, Basescu said he and Boc had talked about a new Government as early as December, but the change was put off until after the International Monetary Fund's review and a state bond issue on the U.S. debt market.

Other names reportedly considered for the office left by Emil Boc were Calin Georgescu, acting prime minister Catalin Predoiu, and Cristian Maior, head of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI).

On Monday, Basescu met with all the political parties represented in Parliament.
