Governing programme 2018-2020/Diaspora policies: Legislative updates for supporting Romanians' return home

The Executive intends to update legislation with regard to policies for the Diaspora in the governing programme, in order to support the process of Romanians' return from abroad and to assist the local public administration authorities in concluding town-twinning and cooperation agreements with local public administration authorities from other states so as to achieve and finance investment objectives. 

The legislative updates feature the support of the Romanians' returning home process, through facilitating the levelling of the labour demand and supply, as well as through providing assistance and counseling in view of reintegration into the labour market and the development of entrepreneurial initiatives. 

"Facilitating the process of recognition in Romania of the formal and informal qualifications obtained by Romanians who have worked/work abroad will also be followed," the document reads. 

The document also shows that the Government will guarantee free speech, by all Romanians of political options. 

As regards the bilateral relations with the neighbouring states and in the Balkans where Romanian natives live, the Government will follow the proper application of the European norms regarding the treatment of national minorities on a state's territory, as well as a balance between the rights ensured in this domain to national minorities by the Romanian state and those assured to the Romanian minority on the partner's state territory.
