 | | Initially, there was relief in western capitals that Iliescu was able to co-opt the party and state bureaucracy which recognized that this paternalistic ex-communist was in a good position to safeguard their interests in troubled times. | | | Nor until Romania formally applied to join the EU in 1995 and NATO in 1996 was there external scrutiny of key state institutions and laws and the degree to which they were compatible with the standards required by these organizations. | | | Romania thus stands apart from Central European states with whom it prefers to be grouped and even with several in South-East Europe (SEE) or the Balkans, the geographical category into which international observers and many ordinary Romanian citizens feel Romania best fits. |

| | Ethnic Minorities in Post-Communist Romania: From Rhetoric to Integration |
| | Ion Iliescu, a reform communist, was elected in 1990 on a platform that included promises to improve Romania's minorities policy, but his efforts to do so in some cases increased ethnic tensions. | | | In September 1995, for example, the parliament initiated a draft law on the restitution of property confiscated from Jews by the communist regime, but eventually the draft law was abandoned. | | | With the November 1996 defeat of the Communist Party by a pro-West coalition of parties, however, the long road from passive rhetoric to true integration may be coming to an end. |

| | The New York Review of Books: Romania: Bottom of the Heap |
| | Richard Nixon became the first US president to visit a Communist state when he came to Bucharest in August 1969. | | | If Romania is not to fall back into a slough of resentful despond, or worse, that promise must be fulfilled. | | | But if the European Union wishes to go further, to help make "European" countries that are not—and this is implicit in its international agenda and its criteria for membership—then it must address the hard cases. |
