The Union of the Ukrainians of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Ucrainienilor din Romania, UUR; Ukrainian: Союзу Українців Румунії, Soyuzu Ukrayintsiv Rumuniyi, SUR) is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Ukrainian community.
History
The UUR contested the 1990 general elections, and despite receiving only 16,179 votes (0.12%),[1] it won a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies under the electoral law that allows for political parties representing ethnic minority groups to be exempt from the electoral threshold. It has won a seat in every election since.
