  1. That whole system is corrupt. If you go and report a crime the police want a bribe before they'll do anything, then they'll go to the criminal and demand a bribe from them to not arrest them, it's that corrupt. A Romanian whom wants to register to get a rental in a city gets confronted by the government agencies that are there to help them but the staff demand a bribe, then one's you get the apartment the local registry agent demands another bribe as does the building manager. It doesn't stop there, because just getting your utilities reconnected, you need to bribe the Electrician, the Plummer, the Internet guy, etc, etc, etc, it's that ingrained into the culture that petty bribery is seen as completely normal over there. If you want to change anything regarding corruption in Romania you need to be very patient and have long term view, otherwise, forget about that perticular crusade, you'll go insane before you ever get anywhere with that on all levels of the Romanian society.
