The report discusses the situation of immigrants from Romania, trying to offer answers to the following questions: Who are they? Do they contribute in any way to the general good? How are their rights respected and what kind of politics should the Romanian state promote in order to better accommodate them? How do they contribute to the redefinition of the Romanian identity in the perspective of the European Union enlargement and implicitly of the changing notions of citizenship, sovereignty, etc.?
