PNL's Secretary General Dan Vilceanu said before the meeting that his personal option was a majority with the Save Romania Union (USR).

"Today, at this meeting, we'll do something else - set the negotiation mandate (...) with all formations. (...) There are but two options to build a majority in Romania's Parliament - USR and PSD [Social Democratic Party]," Vilceanu said.
