Moldovan diaspora in Romania

Moldovan diaspora in Romania includes the Moldovan-born people living in Romania and their descendants. The largest group of foreigners in Romania are from Republic of Moldova. Owing to the former period of union between most of Moldova and Romania, many Moldovans are eligible for Romanian citizenship on the basis of descent. The culture of Moldova is influenced primarily by the Romanian origins of its majority population, being strongly related to classical Romanian culture, and, as such, it is easy for people from neighbouring Moldova to integrate within the contemporary Romanian culture. Many immigrants from the Republic of Moldova prefer to settle in the Romanian counties from the region of Moldavia, because there the culture is more similar to their home country.[4] There are also significant Moldovan communities in the largest cities of Romania, such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Timisoara.[5][6]
