Expediting Romanian Citizenship

The law allows applicants in the process of recovering Romanian citizenship to petition the court to expedite the resolution of their application, in cases where more than 2 years have passed since the submission of the request without receiving a response from the competent authority. The purpose of this action is to compel the authority to resolve the application within a deadline set by the court, thereby avoiding an indefinite wait.
