BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's centrist President Klaus Iohannis said on Saturday he would decline any offer to get the European Union's top job, seeking instead to win a fresh term as the country's president.

Iohannis, 60, an ethnic German whose promise to rein in corruption has helped make him Europe's most popular political leader on Facebook, had been named by diplomats as a possible replacement to European Council head Donald Tusk.
