Romanians in Central Europe and the Balkans: close to home, far from your people
25 September 2026 · 4 min read
Czechia, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria: a few hours from Romania, but in another language. How to meet someone who speaks like you.
Not every Romanian abroad is far from home. Many work or study in Prague, Warsaw, Kraków, Budapest, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Zagreb or Sofia — in service centres, the car industry, IT or at universities.
Close, yet still far
You can drive home in a day, but that doesn't mean you have someone to speak Romanian with every evening. The Slavic languages and Hungarian are nothing like ours, and the Romanian communities in these cities are young and still taking shape.
