A merchant ship caught fire on the evening of August 27 in the Black Sea, in Romania's exclusive economic zone, and the crew of 12 sailors was rescued by border police officers from the Coast Guard and by another merchant ship in the area, News.ro announced. The rescue operation was difficult because of the large waves in the area.  "The ship was hit, and it seems to have sunk, but for now we don't know by whom and by what," commented president Nicuşor Dan. Representatives of the Romanian Naval Authority (ANR) announced that, on Thursday, at around 17:55, the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) Service within the ANR received an alert regarding the ship Progress IV, flagged in the Dominican Republic, the last known position being located in Romania's exclusive economic zone, approximately 15 nautical miles from Sfântu Gheorghe.  "The merchant ship Mohamad B headed to the area immediately, and at the same time the rescue ships ARSVOM, SAR Ares and SAR Artemis were urgently mobilised, along with the Border Police’s ship MAI 0201, designated as the coordinator on site", ANR representatives stated.

Romanian president Nicusor Dan , in a press conference at Chișinău on August 27, announced that new consultations with the parties on nominating a new prime minister will follow on September 1, and he assured that "we will find a majority for a stable government." He refused to elaborate on the source of his optimism, however. According to Digi24 , asked about the option of a technocratic government, the head of state said that "one with political ministers is much more likely." Romania has been without a full-fledged government since May 5 – when the Social Democrats (PSD) left the coalition of centrist parties to overthrow prime minister Ilie Bolojan with the help of far-right AUR.  The interim government of PM Bolojan has served in a limited capacity in an attempt to optimise the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), due to reach an end on August 31, and avoid political turmoil that would have negatively impacted the sovereign rating reviews scheduled over the summer.  The outcome was mixed: Fitch reversed a planned downgrade in July after four of the six PNRR reforms were legislated and Moody’s took a similar decision a week later, warning that high implementation risks surrounding the country’s multi-year fiscal consolidation programme could lead to a downgrade if political support for further deficit reduction weakens. Both rating agencies pointed to the further fiscal plans, primarily the 2027 budget plan, as key for Romania maintaining the investment-grade rating.  More recently, Romania’s lawmakers abandoned one of the remaining two reforms ( the Wage Law for the budgetary sector ) and approved a version of the Integrity Law (the sixth reform) that prompted broad criticism as allegedly touching upon the rule of law and lowering the standards of transparency.
