Abstract: The tense evolution of the conflict in Ukraine could not remain without economic and financial implications for nearby countries, such as Romania. The very large influx of refugees has put pressure on national health, defense and public order systems but also on the central public administration. The reaction of the Romanian authorities was not long in coming and consisted of the immediate mobilization of budgetary resources for accommodation, humanitarian assistance, the provision of basic necessities during the temporary stay such as food, clothing or personal hygiene materials, as well as the right to receive free medical care and appropriate treatment. This article seeks to capture the reaction of local government managers and the way in which they mobilized and reacted to provide aid to refugees, although the responsibilities for providing aid and assistance rested with the central government.
