Romanian anti-drug prosecutors oppose decriminalization bill, cite trafficking loopholes

Romania's DIICOT publicly opposes a Senate bill that would decriminalize drug possession for personal use, arguing it would create legal avenues for traffickers to evade prosecution. The bill's status is uncertain; DIICOT's criticism signals potential institutional resistance, but legislative outcome remains unclear. This matters as it could reshape Romania's drug enforcement landscape and affect EU-level counter-narcotics cooperation.
