Today, September 1, we mark Romanian Diplomacy Day, a celebration taking place on the second day of #RADR2026. Because that is exactly what diplomacy stands for: an anchor of dialogue, cooperation and responsibility, promoting and protecting Romania’s interests in a changing world.
Our thanks go to all those who represent 🇷🇴, at home and abroad, with professionalism, dedication and dignity, including our diplomatic and consular corps and the entire team of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Happy Romanian Diplomacy Day! 🤝

Congratulations, @TKajzer, on your appointment as Slovenia’s Minister of Foreign and European Affairs. I look forward to working together to further strengthen the close 🇷🇴 🇸🇮 partnership, including on economic and sectorial fields.
Ready to coordinate closely within the EU, NATO and the UN, as well as in regional frameworks such as the Central European Initiative and SEECP, where Slovenia is a valued partner.
Alexandru Grădinar retweeted
🇸🇮 Slovenia condemns in strongest possible terms yet another reckless behaviour of Russia that caused injuries of civilians and damage to civilian housing in 🇷🇴 Romania. Slovenia expresses full solidarity with Romania and stands firmly with all Allies in the defence of the Alliance's territory.

Europe's biggest new gas project just started drilling.
First gas in 2027🧵
Neptun Deep.
160 km offshore Romania in the Black Sea.
100 bcm of recoverable gas across two fields Domino and Pelican South.
Operators: OMV Petrom and Romgaz, 50/50.
Total capex: up to €4 billion.
Construction is now fully underway across 3 workstreams simultaneously:
→ First development well spudded at Pelican South. 10 production wells planned total.
→ 160 km, 30-inch subsea pipeline under construction. Saipem holds a $1.75 bn contract.
→ Neptun Alpha production platform being fabricated in Indonesia. Topsides complete. Sail away planned for 2026.
At plateau, the field will produce 8 bcm/year.
Romania's entire current domestic output is 9.2 bcm/year.
Neptun Deep alone will nearly double the country's gas production and turn it into a net exporter.
With Groningen gone and Russian pipeline supply structurally curtailed, the EU has very few large indigenous gas additions arriving this decade.
Neptun Deep is one of them.
Surplus volumes are expected to flow toward Moldova, Slovakia, Hungary and Germany via existing interconnectors.
Romania is on track to become the largest gas producer in the EU.

Kicking off the #B9Summit in #Bucharest with a coordination meeting together with @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte and Polish President @NawrockiKn.
The B9 format brings added value for the security of the Alliance as a whole and our Summit starting tomorrow aims at making a concrete contribution to the success of the NATO Summit in Ankara, including on meeting the Hague commitments on defence spending and further assistance to Ukraine.
The #EasternFlank countries are already taking more responsibility for European defence and I underlined the strategic importance of the Black Sea for regional and Euro-Atlantic security and the need for more decisive action to counter the assertive behavior of Russia.

Le-am urat bun venit la București liderilor statelor membre B9, invitaților și prietenilor noștri nordici, Secretarului General al NATO și le-am mulțumit pentru prezență SUA și Ucrainei, care au participat ca observatori.
Dialogul nostru are loc într-un context internațional dinamic, cu două luni înainte de un moment important pentru noi toți, Summitul NATO de la Ankara. Organizarea reuniunii de astăzi la București, aproape de Ucraina, de Marea Neagră și în proximitatea amenințărilor ruse la adresa teritoriului aliat este cu atât mai semnificativă.
Scopul Summitului nostru este de a coagula o abordare unitară despre viitorul NATO. Pentru fiecare dintre țările noastre există o prioritate pentru propria securitate și există o prioritate pentru consolidarea securității transatlantice. De aceea, motto-ul acestei reuniuni este să oferim mai mult pentru securitatea transatlantică.
Pentru a ne îndeplini aceste obiective este necesar să creștem cheltuielile dedicate apărării, pe care trebuie să le transformăm în capabilități, să sporim contribuția aliaților europeni la NATO și să dezvoltăm împreună o bază industrială militară transatlantică solidă.
Întâlnirea de astăzi ne oferă oportunitatea de a vedea unde suntem în implementarea angajamentelor pe care ni le-am luat la Summitul NATO de la Haga și de a reafirma sprijinul nostru pentru Ucraina și Republica Moldova. De securitatea lor depinde securitatea noastră.

Bread making at Pr’ Končovc
📍 Kranj, Slovenia 🇸🇮
Explore Slovenia: tasteatlas.com/Slovenia
There is nothing like the smell of fresh bread, especially when it’s baked in a traditional wood fired oven. At Pr’ Končovc, a family run farm in the hills of Kranj, Mama Fani is the heart of the kitchen, keeping a centuries old craft alive.
The process is as honest as it gets. No timers, no fancy machinery—just Mama Fani kneading the dough by hand until it has the perfect feel. The loaves are then placed into the intense heat of the stone oven, where the wood fire creates a deep, rustic crust that you simply can’t replicate in a modern kitchen.
When she pulls a loaf from the embers and gives it that signature tap, that hollow sound is the only confirmation she needs. It’s a masterclass in patience and tradition, resulting in bread with a thick, crunchy exterior and a soft, warm soul.

A treasure has been found 👏
The Gold Helmet of Coțofenești, a 2,500-year-old artifact from the Dacia civilization, and one of Romania's national treasures, has been recovered in the Netherlands.
The priceless piece has been listed in INTERPOL’s Stolen Works of Art Database since the day of its theft in 2025, thanks to swift action and reporting by @Politie.
Containing more than 58,000 records, the database is the largest global repository of police-certified information on stolen cultural property.
It is accessible to law enforcement, art dealers, the general public and museums, including via the ID-Art mobile app.
This case highlights the importance of timely reporting and international cooperation in the protection of cultural heritage.

It was a pleasure to welcome President @NicusorDanRO to NATO HQ for the first time
Romania has been a steadfast ally for over 20 years, playing a key role on the eastern flank, including the Black Sea – a vital region for our shared security
