The Romanian ambassador to the USA stated that he is actively working for accession to the Visa Waiver program, but there is no evidence that the cancellation of the elections has influenced this process.

Andrei Muraru declared himself cautiously optimistic regarding Romania's accession to the Visa Waiver program, emphasizing that work is constantly being done on this file. He dismissed speculation that the cancellation of the presidential elections would lead to Romania's exclusion from the program, stating that he has not seen any documents to support this theory. Muraru criticized the actions of Victor Ponta and George Simion, considering them harmful to Romania. He also mentioned that Romania's exclusion from the Visa Waiver program is an unprecedented situation in the history of this program.
