The Social Democratic Party (PSD) on Wednesday asked the institutions in charge of foreign policy to urgently clarify with the Ukrainian authorities the reasons why Romania was omitted from the list of states for which Ukraine has regulated the possibility of concluding dual citizenship agreements.
'The Social Democratic Party asks the institutions in charge of foreign policy, the Presidential Administration and the Government, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to urgently clarify with the Ukrainian authorities the reasons why Romania was omitted from the list of states for which Ukraine has regulated the possibility of concluding dual citizenship agreements. The PSD believes that this omission clearly affects the Romanian community in Ukraine and stands in sharp contrast to the unconditional support provided by our country throughout the Russian-Ukrainian war,' the PSD said in a press release sent to AGERPRES.
According to the quoted source, such an arbitrary approach by the Ukrainian authorities could also affect Ukraine's process of accession to the European Union.
'The new regulation is deeply unfair in relation to the sacrifice of ethnic Romanians who have fallen in the line of duty on the Ukrainian front. The PSD calls on the Romanian authorities to intervene firmly and urgently to resolve this issue, given that Romanians represent the second largest ethnic minority in the neighbouring country. Romania has consistently demonstrated a correct attitude towards Ukraine, similar to that of Poland, the Czech Republic or Germany, for which the new Ukrainian legislation allows dual citizenship agreements,' the Social Democrats added in the press release.
