Reports (2)
- Status is not correct "There is no actual law stating that surgery is necessary. The requirements are very unclear but it just depends on a judge approving it, which has happened without surgery. "
- Status is not correct "I’m Romanian, it’s a lot more ambiguous now. Since around 2018 there have been cases where it was approved without surgery, but it’s all very ambiguous and depends on the judge as there is no specific law one way or another. "
