We are excited to announce a special edition of the Alianta Conversations, which will take place on October 30th, 2024. This discussion will focus on the U.S. presidential election and its potential impact on Romania and its neighbors.
Given the historic significance of the election, this event promises a deep dive into the potential geopolitical consequences for Romania.
