Twenty foreign citizens who want to hold Moldovan nationality or to gain the right to stay in the country on a permanent basis took an exam in the official language on April 10, IPN reports.

The exam consisted of three stages: reading and translation of an unknown text, conversation on an every day subject, and the written test.

The persons who didn’t pass the exam will be able to sit it again in a month.

A number of 42 foreigners from 17 countries took the given exam last year.
