In connection with the afore mentioned resignation the Stratford Independent Institute of the United States estimates that the declarations made to the media last week by army corps general Chelaru could have brought about loss of trust won by our country in front of NATO members that are following with particular interest restructuring of the Romanian army, RADIO ROMANIA ACTUALITATI reports. The replacement of general Chelaru seems to be a measure made in the extreme but which however demonstrates the determination of Romania to strengthen confidence of NATO member states.[02] Communique of the National Association of Military of RomaniaFounding members of the National Association of Military of Romania decided to re-analyze the statute of the Association, to cease association of active army officers and to postpone all activities of the Association until the setting up of the new administration of the country following the elections which will take place on 26 November. This decision was motivated by the stand taken by political personalities of Romania and personalities of the civil society that found a number of paragraphs of the association incompatible with the statute.
