Erm what's he talking about exactly? Google translate's Romanian doesn't seem to be very good :)
I read that on another news site and I'll try to translate his words.
"A small problem appeared. Before that period in September they will be somewhere in Tunisia. So transportation must be provided. We're trying to figure out a way to do it, that means an airbridge. Without that scene, the concert would be deprived. After all, we're talking about 120 trucks. There are many things to overcome, but we hope to do it."
Does that mean that U2 will have their stages in Tunisia? I kinda doubt this.
He says that if they (the city hall staff) "can't bring them in September, another solution would be to postpone the event until October". He also said that "the will to come is already solved".
In my opinion, the fact that the will to come is solved doesn't mean a lot. I mean, "yeah, sure we want to come" could be a polite declaration. Or maybe the negotiations are in an advanced stage, who knows.
From this I can only think of two things. The first is that they will have the stages in Africa and they will have to bring one here especially for the Bucharest concert, in which case the costs of an airbridge would be enormous, unjustified and irretrievable. If they will be in Africa, maybe there won't be another European leg after all and we would be the chosen ones. Knowing how things work around here, let me doubt about this too.
Though there was something similar in the past with Michael Jackson. Maybe we are the chosen peopleThe second thought is that everything, or parts of it, is bull. The fact that he says where they will be is quite a lot of info to be true and said without the U2 staff approval.
Or maybe it's meant to be planted in order to cause even more confusion before announcing the real plans? That wouldn't be the first time.
