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.

If Australia kept it's original Western given name by the people that found it from the West it would have been New Holland today, having to do 0 with us Dutch, might have got confusing.
And if New York did the same, it would still be called New Amsterdam,....again, confusing.
New Zealand at least has a spelling difference between the Dutch Province after which it was named Nieuw Zeeland, but being called Kiwi's is great, keeps the confusion out of it.
Don't know how the Australians in Arnhemland are called though, hope it's not the same as in the Dutch city of Arnhem.
Anyway, the Tazmanian's are only called after the Dutchman Abel Tasman, no province luckily no confusion.
I agree with the name change of FYROM, it's a good solution, they are Slavic not Greek and not related to Alexander the Great.
