BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanian President Klaus Iohannis named former European Commissioner Dacian Ciolos, a technocrat, to head a broad-backed government to replace that of leftist Victor Ponta who quit last week amid public anger over a deadly nightclub fire.
Ciolos, 46, who was picked by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker in July as his special adviser on food security, will easily garner parliament support in a confidence vote likely at the end of this month, analysts said.
