Romanian President signs new law making it easier for Moldovans to get Romanian citizenship

Romanian President Traian Basescu recently signed a new law making it easier for any former Romanian citizen who lost his or her citizenship against his or her will to recover it.

"For example, after Moldova was torn from Romania [Imedia: after World War II], the Romanians on Moldovan territory lost their citizenship. Those who are still alive, and their progeny up to the third generation, can simply ask for Romanian citizenship. We don't need any a lot documents to give it to them," Mr. Basescu said.

The law says that Romanian authorities have to grant citizenship within five months of a request.
