The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) reacted to the information about the dismantling of high schools teaching in the Romanian language in the Cernăuți region, Ukraine, as part of the educational reform 'New Ukrainian School', which is set to take place starting September 1, 2027. MAE clarified that the list sent by the authorities in Cernăuți is provisional and does not represent a final decision.
