The Liberal only said that 'everything could be negotiated" and that his team will continue negotiations about the venue for the organisation of a debate between the two presidential hopeful that remained in the race.

"As far as I see it a debate can take place anywhere there is a public platform, independent, accessible, for the two candidates and all of the mass media. Everything could be negotiated, provided that these conditions are met. I will ask my team to continue with the negotiations," said the Liberal.

President Traian Basescu on Saturday came out with a proposal for the two presidential candidates left to compete in the presidential runoff, namely Victor Ponta and Klaus Iohannis, should hold their debate at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace. AGERPRES
