The administrative reform plans in Romania raise concerns about small communes, particularly in Brașov County, where four localities fall below the 1,500 population threshold for voluntary merging. Although discussions are ongoing, there is no official list of municipalities targeted for dissolution or merger. The least populated communes include Fundata, Ticuș, Drăguș, and Holbav. The government aims to address the issue of small localities, with 429 nationwide potentially eligible for voluntary merging. The minister emphasizes the need for reform, distinguishing between voluntary merging based on local agreement and a legal reorganization with centrally established criteria. Ultimately, the fate of these communes will depend on legal mechanisms and local political will.
