Context: Said by Romania's interim foreign minister while explaining that Article 4 consultations remain available to Bucharest after four drone incursions in four days — and that Romania has not requested them. The claim itself is historical and checkable, but no source gathered this cycle corroborates Romania's role in the 2014 Article 4 consultations that followed Russia's seizure of Crimea, and the NATO record of who requested them was not reached. Recorded unverified pending a primary check against NATO's own 2014 documentation. The operative half of her remark — that Article 4 remains an option rather than something Romania has used — is corroborated by five outlets reporting her remarks (Ukrinform, Aerotime, Romania Insider, SpotMedia, BTA), none of which reports an invocation.
