The President also said that in the last ten years Romania has started democratic progress and added the following, we quote:" Now a month before the year 2000 and ten years after the collapse of communism we should all in good faith look at the full half of the glass which we raise to celebrate our National Holiday. Decentralization of the Administration, restitution of the lands, modernization of the system of taxes and improvement of the pension system make up for some drams in the full half of the glass if you will. To all this we should add the firmness and consistency with which Romania takes further action for its integration in the European and Euro-Atlantic structures. By offering facts we have obtained facts. The independence, sovereignty, unity and peace of Romania are not questioned " - said President Emil Constantinescu quoted by RADIO ROMANIA ACTUALITATI. The President of Romania made an appeal to unity saying that the successes of Romania are the result of our unity while shortcomings are the outcome of lack of unity. " It is today, on the National Holiday of Romania, that appreciation should be expressed to all friends of Romania for the support and trust granted during all these hard years and I wish to thank the citizens of Romania for their efforts to overcome difficult moments, moments of despair and mistrust. I believe that we are all duty-bound to observe everything that unites us". RADOR
