In order to guarantee to all inhabitants the chance to be included in the census enumeration, there were organized stationary census sections, where each mature person could come and furnish the necessary information about himself and about the members of the household.\n\nCensus period\nThe population census was conducted during the period 5-12 October, 2004, in municipalities, cities, communes, villages according to the existing situation at the \u201d0\u201d hours of October 5, 2004, considered as \u201creference moment of the census\u201d.
