It is the decision of the Romanian people and I respect it,

We succeeded in getting a compromise without letting this dispute contaminate a rather positive relationship.

I congratulate Basescu ... Basescu is the future president of Romania.

Respect people's opinion even though you don't agree with it.

I have called Maldini to try and convince him to return, but he has asked me to respect his decision to retire. From our point of view, we won't be asking him again .

We accept and we respect the decision, but we don't agree with it,
