| Info | Emil Constantinescu (b. November 19, 1939 in Tighina, currently in Moldova) was a President of Romania (1996 - 2000).
He graduated from the law faculty of Bucharest University and subsequently started a career as a geologist.
After the 1989 revolution, Constantinescu became a founding member and vice president of the Civic Alliance, the most comprehensive organization of Romanian civic society. He was the acting chairman of the Romanian Anti-Totalitarian Forum, the first associative structure of the democratic opposition in Romania, which was transformed into a political and electoral alliance - the Democratic Convention of Romania (DCR).
In 1992 he was elected rector of Bucharest University and became the PCR's candidate for president. He lost the election to the incumbent, Ion Iliescu, after a second round. In 1996, however, the DCR won the general elections for the two chambers of Parliament and Emil Constantinescu was elected president of Romania, defeating Iliescu.
In 2000, he did not run for reelection and Iliescu returned to power.
On the international level, he is committed to: the integration of Romania into the European Union and NATO structures; to the strengthening of bilateral links with other countries as well as to the implementation of trilateral political and economic agreements among states.
