Libertatea religioasă în România – doar un concept teoretic sau și unul practic?
Religious freedom in Romania - just a theoretical concept or also a practical one?

Summary/Abstract: According to the Law no. 489/2006 on the Freedom of Religion and the General Status of Religious Denominations, non-State actors that promote the interreligious and interconfessional dialogue in Romania are the 18 religious denominations, 42 religious associations and many associations and foundations that also carry out religious activities. Naturally, the Romanian state facilitates the initiatives related to the promotion of interfaith and interreligious dialogue through various institutions, such as the Presidential Administration, the central public administration (through the State Secretariat for Religious Affairs – the main institution of the Romanian State that elaborates and articulates public policies in the field of religious life and the relationship between the State and religions), the Ministries whose activity may concern the development of religious life in Romania and the relationship between the State and the religious denominations (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Investment and European Projects, Ministry of Labor) and last, but not least the local public administration (Mayor’s Office, Local Councils, County Councils etc.). Romania has a dynamic religious life, where religious denominations are very active in society through a large number of social, educational, cultural projects with which they contribute to the common good of society. Romania has the opportunity to be a country where interethnic and interfaith peace reigns, where there are friendly relations and cooperation between religious organizations both locally and central.
