If this was a cut-and-dried issue under Romanian law, you would surely need to be prepared to file a suit in courts in that particular country, possibly against one of the entities under which you had some kind of contract. If you are not prepared to do that (and I know of noone who has filed suits there) you would need to somehow gather support for some kind of "bad faith" claim that is more to do with shaming someone into paying up. Take a look at how the ACS have handled unreturned goods for an example of how to do this. It's cheap, simpler and might just work. I'm very sorry how it turned out, I'm sure that there must be more behind it than meets the eye and perhaps it would be sensible to get all the facts out, which might be easier than at first look - in fact, isn't mr. Raduta actually on the board of the ICFA now? I recall seeing a photograph recently of the "inaugural" meeting....perhaps someone who was there can confirm? Which if it is the case, given the above events, is somewhat ironic.
Looking forward to seeing this resolved amicably,
