\nPrin declara\u0163ii publice, pentru a nu da dec\u00e2t c\u00e2teva exemple din ultima perioad\u0103, Academia Rom\u00e2n\u0103 a luat pozi\u0163ie \u00een chestiunea unit\u0103\u0163ii rom\u00e2nilor \u015fi a limbii de pe ambele laturi ale Prutului, \u00een problema Ro\u015fia Montana, \u00een cea a unor cl\u0103diri \u00eenalte, construite cu scopuri speculative \u00een capitala \u0163\u0103rii.
