We aren't in the Schengen area, that's a different treaty. And we aren't letting in random Moldavians. Applying for citizenship still implies submitting an application for review, which includes things like a criminal record, birth certificates from parents and from grandparents as proof that they were Romanians, plus proof of legal residence in Romania for 48 months.
