Romania's newly elected president Nicusor Dan on Monday faced an uphill task to bring together a deeply divided country after a tense rerun vote, with Brussels and other European allies welcoming the victory of the centrist.
Dan, the pro-EU mayor of Bucharest, beat far-right leader George Simion, a US President Donald Trump fan, who has slammed the bloc's "absurd policies" and vowed to stop aid to war-torn Ukraine, which neighbours NATO member Romania.
