Abstract: The current research examines the role played Romania in the current refugee/migration crisis, and the measures that it has taken in order to integrate the incoming refugees. Quantitative analysis shall be used in order to reveal the perceptions of the citizens towards the third country nationals at the debut and after the refugee crisis. We argue that Romania represents a paradox, as it is mostly a country of emigrants, millions of Romanian citizens living, studying or working abroad in other EU/non-EU states. Thus, the question is, will Romania be able to handle the increased number of asylum claims from third country nationals and their subsequent accommodation and integration, if it cannot stop its citizens from going abroad and a making a living there?
