Russia has accused Romania of hosting a ‘terrorist organization’ a group of exiled Russian politicians and activists who are pushing for more autonomy up to independence for ethnic regions and republics of the Russian Federation.
The “Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum” held a conference called “The Black Sea: the border of the future for a safe and stable Europe” on March 19 at the Romanian Parliament building.
A State Duma commission on Wednesday sent “materials on hostile actions by Romanian authorities towards the Russian Federation” to the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Foreign Ministry, Tass reported, citing the head of the commission, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption Vasily Piskarev.
It said Romania had accepted “representatives of a terrorist organization banned in Russia” in a conference at its Parliament.
It accused Romanian authorities of carrying out hostile actions and providing the “terrorists” with a parliamentary platform for carrying out provocations against Russia, Piskarev said.
Lawmakers said during the conference “repeated calls were made to Western countries, including foreign agents, to achieve the military defeat of Russia and dismember it into many independent states.” As well as that, proposals were made to “withdraw Russia from the Black Sea,” Piskarev said.
The organization which was registered in Poland, is included on the list of organizations considered “terrorist” by Moscow in 2024, according to Radio Free Europe.
Under Russian law, prosecutors have the power to declare foreign and international organizations “undesirable” in Russia and shut them down. People cooperating with the groups are subject to fines and can be banned from entering Russia.
