Nicusor Dan, the pro-European mayor of Bucharest, secured a decisive victory in Romania's tense presidential election.
He triumphed over the nationalist challenger, George Simion, gaining over 54% of the vote in a hard-fought contest.
Dan's win is seen as a strong endorsement of pro-EU sentiment and a rejection of nationalist agendas.
The election was marked by high voter turnout and intense political debate, reflecting deep divisions within Romania.
