The Romanian citizenship application of Israeli musician Asaf Avidan was reportedly approved by the National Authority for Citizenship, according to sources within the institution cited by Antena 3 . Avidan stated during a recent concert in Bucharest that he had applied for Romanian citizenship because his grandparents were born in Romania. “I have been trying for a few years to obtain citizenship, but your bureaucracy moves more slowly,” the artist said in front of the audience at the concert held on May 17 in Bucharest.
