Romania is the sixth largest country in the European Union in terms of population size and strategic significance.

Romania has by far the longest shared border with Ukraine ; it is also the most important base for US and NATO forces in southeastern Europe .

President Klaus Iohannis , who has been in office for ten years , has a low profile on both the domestic and international political stage.

Romania contributes very little to debates about how to handle Russia and support Ukraine .

Elena Lasconi is the chairwoman of the Save Romania Union ( USR ) She is vying for second place in the first round of the presidential election with George Simion at 15% .

Simion is banned from entering Moldova and Ukraine because he claims parts of their territory should belong to Romania .

Lasconi's political style and election campaign reflect the problems of the USR .
