Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan went Thursday morning to the National Arena, where Mircea Lucescu's coffin is laid, to pay his last respects. At this moment, it is not clear whether the president Nicușor Dan will make a similar gesture.
On Thursday, after holding a moment of silence at the coffin of Mircea Lucescu, Prime Minister Bolojan also made a short statement upon leaving the National Arena:
“I am here as a sign of respect for the lifelong work and career of a man with a prestigious career. May God rest Mircea Lucescu”, declared the prime minister.
According to HotNews information, President Nicușor Dan will not go to the National Arena, but one of the advisors of the head of state will lay a wreath on behalf of the Presidential Administration.
Fans who want to pass in front of the coffin guarded by the honor guard to pay their last respects to the great coach can still do so today until 20:00.
Public access is allowed through a controlled circuit, organized to ensure the fluidity of visitors.
