Snagov Declaration

The Snagov Declaration (Romanian: Declarația de la Snagov) was a declaration signed on 21 June 1995 by the leaders of the parliamentary parties in Romania at the time committing to a strategy aimed at Romania's accession to the European Union (EU).

The day after the declaration's signature, Romania submitted its official application to join the EU, entering the bloc in 2007.
