Ukrainians of Romania

The Ukrainians ( _uk. Українці, _ro. Ucraineni) are the third-largest ethnic minority in Romania, numbering 61,091 people according to the 2002 census and hence making up 0.3% of the total population. Ukrainians mainly live in northern Romania, in areas close to the Ukrainian border. More than half of all Romanian Ukrainians live in Maramureş County (34,027), where they make up 6.67% of the population. Sizeable populations of Ukrainians are also found in Suceava County (8506 people) and Timiş County (7261 people). Ukrainians make up a majority in the communes of Bistra, Maramureş, Poienile de sub Munte, Maramureş, Rona de Sus, Maramureş, Ştiuca, Timiş and Copăcele, Caraş-Severin.

As an officially-recognised ethnic minority, Ukrainians have one seat reserved in the Romanian Chamber of Deputies. Ştefan Tcaciuc held the seat from 1990 until his 2005 death, when he was replaced by Ştefan Buciuta.
