Does Romania give citizenship to foreigners?

Romania citizenship by naturalisation is available to foreign nationals who have resided in the country for 8 years or 5 years if they are married to a Romanian citizen. Romania allows dual citizenship, so it's possible to hold a Romanian passport and a passport of another country at the same time.
