Four regional chapters would have had to back the proposal to hold a vote, but only two did, the party’s interim president Brigita Čokl said.

The coalition is moving forward and following the two-day talks, an important step has been taken for more efficient government and coherence of political decisions within the coalition, Prime Minister Florin Citu said on Tuesday evening. "I am very happy that we are taking the vaccination campaign as the main goal in this coalition.
