Aspecte ale implementării legislației României Întregite în sud-estul Transilvaniei
Aspects of Implementing the Greater Romania Legislation in the South-East of Transylvania

Summary/Abstract: After the Great Union of 1st December 1918, the legislation of the Romanian state was introduced in the localities of the Ciuc, Odorhei and Treiscaune counties with difficulty considering that the majority consisted of a Hungarian ethnic population. For the beginning, the nomenclature of localities was updated and their official names were established. The next step was the approval of the organizational statutes of the counties, towns and communes, then the constitution of the mayors of the urban and rural communes. Employing civil servants in the local public administration was very difficult, due to the lack of knowledge of the Romanian language by the Hungarian population and the non-acceptance of the condition of minorities. It followed the adjustment of the positions left by the Hungarian officials, who had to submit the oath of fidelity to the Romanian state, which was refused. The Conducting Council organized professional training courses as well as Romanian language learning. The Law of Administrative Unification was implemented in stages by elaborating the unique status of civil servants, establishing the whole Romanian emblem, marking events in national history, renaming the streets and public institutions and the obligation to use the Romanian language in institutions and correspondence.
