Summary/Abstract: The right to religious freedom in Romania was provided in the texts of the Constitution published during the communist regime, in 1948, 1952, and 1965 (with subsequent amendments), but in practice it has not been respected. After the popular revolution of 1989, through Constitutions of 1991 and 2003, and particularly through the Organic Law 489/2006, in Romania this right was provided and maintained in full compliancewith the provisions of European and international Law.
