( dpa ) - Romanian Foreign Minister Adrian Cioroianu tendered his resignation Friday following criticism that he failed to act decisively after the death of a Romanian citizen in Poland.
Bucharest media levelled heavy criticism at both Cioroianu and Romanian diplomats at their country's Warsaw embassy after the Romanian died following a hunger strike.
Prime Minister Calin Popescu was among those critical of Cioroianu, and has demanded an inquiry into the affair. Cioroianu, a historian, has been in office for just over a year.
