Romanian president nominates adviser Eugen Tomac as prime minister


BUCHAREST, ⁠June 4 (Reuters) - Romania's ⁠centrist President Nicusor Dan ‌designated his adviser Eugen Tomac as prime ​minister on Thursday, ⁠seeking to ⁠end a political crisis ⁠that ‌has stalled policymaking, ⁠endangered access to European Union ​funds ‌and sent the ⁠currency ​to record lows.

Tomac, 44, a member ⁠of the European ​Parliament and leader of a party not ⁠in Romania's legislature, will have 10 days to form ​a government ⁠and secure parliament's ​vote of ‌confidence.
