After two hours’ debates, this being the fifth round of negotiations, the former AIE parties’ leaders said things were getting clear already, Info-Prim Neo reports. “I think today’s meeting has put an end to the discussions about principles and values, hoping that the methods and tools of overcoming the crisis will lead to a 4-year government”, said Democrat leader Marian Lupu. “I hope the day to finish these negotiations comes soon. Tomorrow, we’ll get our feet on the ground. We haven’t shared anything yet to already give something”, said Mihai Ghimpu, president of the Liberal Party. Liberal-Democrats’s leader announced the next meeting would take place on December 21. The regularity of such trilateral meetings is a good sign about the level of parties’ dialogue, according to Filat. Nonetheless, the politicians failed to estimate when the governing alliance would be announced.
