Migration is a phenomenon that has existed since ancient times, recording different trends. In Europe, the number regarding migration grew after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the socialist regimes. In Romania, migration increased after the fall of communism, in 1989. Although there was migration also during the communist period, it was controlled and registered low intensity. In Romania, migration differs according to areas, nationality and country of destination. The purpose of this study is to establish if the migration is related to the nationality and country of destination and to cluster the counties of Romania according to migration.
